For your first question about the comma, you will find the the GMAT rarely tests proper comma usage in sentence correction. You might find commas testing when using the word 'which' (requires a comma) or when you need to include a comma to create a 3+ item list. On the whole, however, you will only use commas as signals that the problem is testing you on modifiers or parallelism.
As for vague pronouns (pronoun ambiguity), the GMAT has a surprising tolerance for them. That means you need to learn to tolerate them as well. If the GMAT is testing pronoun ambiguity, there will be some splits with ambiguous pronouns and some with the repeated noun (very rare). Focus instead on logical pronoun usage (using pronoun replacement) and number agreement.
