So, we're moving again, which is a success. 

While I could have had Marche respond, kicking us out of the flashback will get us actually progressing, so that's good. The question is, do I simply have Marche sent to Burmecia, and have it implied that Mateus empowered Marche already, or should he get empowered after he's (probably) defeated in Burmecia?

It's fair to assume Chaos questioned it; And it's beneficial to Mateus that he knows, considering it'll push Chaos' confidence up and make him feel like victory will be easier to attain. We'll say they talked about it.

Exdeath probably can sense Galuf, considering his crystal bearer status. (Though he does pass it to Krile after his death, so it's possible Galuf actually can't be sensed by Exdeath due to it: It'd also explain why Galuf's job classes are so limited, aside from balancing reasons.)

This is for your edited in content.

Considering our three different time frames, it's safe to assume that when the other two line up to Cecil and Freya's point in time, they'd be contacted by Cosmos; So after Ritz Layle and Terra get together, they'll be contacted; Probably right before Ritz attempts to attack Layle. Meanwhile we might be fine with reacting to Cosmos with the Mist Cave team with either Gohan's next post, or yours.

It's a fucking mess, honestly.

Kefka isn't going anywhere; But I think Zidane will end up traveling out, probably by Chaos' hand, and end up eventually encountering the World of Balance group. He's probably the lowest difficulty for a three-on-one like what's being presented: Perhaps Mateus will end up deploying a Hell Knight to attack them as well, or, something that came to mind, is that Kefka can conjure his first beast and send it to track down the Warriors of Cosmos, which Zidane can follow and eventually run into the WoB group that way; No matter how we look at it, it's probably going to be a three-on-two fight.

Also, in regards to Marche, he wouldn't make requests of Mateus after his already blatant (faked) generosity.
