Let the right people in?

I haven't read the original novel, and there are many logical problems just to understand the film itself.
Question 1: Why Ellie is not a woman but has a woman's face, what does that mosaic picture mean?
Question 2: What is the relationship between the old man and Ellie? Aside from the original book, the first impression the film gave me was a symbiotic relationship, but as the story progressed, I felt more like Ellie's use of the old man and the unconditional half-life relationship where the old man fell in love with Ellie, which explains why the old man did not Let Ellie see the death of the male protagonist Oscar and the old man did not make Ellie feel bad, or is Ellie already numb?
Question 3: Why is there such a half-life relationship? Judging from Ellie's skill, it's totally fine for her to fight alone, and she doesn't need the old man to help her kill people and get blood. Is it because the old man needs protection during the day? Or is she unwilling to kill? Or is she worried that if the hunt fails, the people who have been sucked by her will also become vampires?

On the subject, let the right people in. The general understanding is to let in someone who can have a half-life relationship with Ellie. The direction of the script is more like a symbiotic relationship. There are two meanings here: Oscar and Ellie do like each other, even though Ellie reminded Oscar that she is not a woman; Oscar seems to be weak, but since he talks to each other every night Judging from the tree's words and deeds and the large number of crime themes he has collected, he will definitely be a top killer in the future, not a rookie killer like the old man.

    The plot is slightly different from the American version, and each has its own merits. . .
