Hey,

The total area subtracted by the hole area makes more sense. I have seen papers which have used cross sectional area which cuts through the holes. Also there are many literature available which compare FEA results to experimental stress-strain curves. Check them out and make the best decision.

For your 2nd question using the 2 plates does seem like the best scenaria. You can make those 2 plates rigid to avoid increase in the simulation time.
You can definitely use remote displacement directly as well. I don't expect too much difference between the two. If you are unsure you can try them both and see if there are considerable differences.
