3. The drive washer has 3 fingers; I found a seller on EBAY that has 6-finger repro drive washers. I think I'll try those too.

I find that there is a big difference in the quality of the drive washers that are available. I've serviced a lot of searchlight cars with rotating housings, IMHO, the OEM Lionel ones work best.

2. The drive magnet hole will fit a 7/64" drill bit but a 1/8" bit will not slide in. I think I'm going to try the rivet solution next.

I have a set of numeric drill bits (wire gauge), they have a wider range of sizes. I couldn't tell you which size I use. They come in handy for all sorts of things. My better set came from Craftsman many years ago. Harbor Freight has inexpensive sets including fractional, number and letter bits, they go on sale from time to time.
