* found the answer to my first question,

my last question is on how the experts properly read that in answer choice A the intended parallelism is not "announced" and "expected". Since it's a 1-part parallel marker "and", we have flexibility in choosing the segments that are parallel and i incorrectly saw that it was announced/reported in A.

company announced that it would cut 10 percent of its workforce--more than 2,000 jobs--and expected to report a

is this more of a meaning issue?

yeah, that version of the sentence really doesn't make much sense. according to that wording, the company actually announced the first thing, but, in the case of the second, the narrator just knows (seemingly by pure magic) what the company “expected”.
for the sentence to be reasonable, the company would have to announce its expectations.
