Certified ExpertA.Springtails won't, typically, cause any harm at all. They are beneficial to the soil.
Speaking of soil... I don't see a picture of it. The damage would indicate overwatering, but this kind of damage can occur from overfertilization, as well.

As far as spraying the leaves- I mist my indoor trees with water, or water with just a bit of aspirin in it. I do this once or twice per week, but you can do this more often if you would like.

Certified ExpertA.Since it didn't work at 10 inches try it again. Go ahead and trim the central stem back about 6 inches and see if that helps.

Certified ExpertA.We do not sell plants. You will have to ask the place that you received the tree from to get information on which cultivar it is. We can, however, offer information on the care of the tree:

April 28, 2021Q.Yellowing Leaves On Young Avocado Tree
We have had exceptional heat, so I gave the avocado tree (about 2 -3 years old) extra water. The leaves look much less wilted now, but they are also yellowing. Does that mean I overwatered it, or does this just happen?

Certified ExpertA.I wouldn't worry too much about this unless you begin to see more of it. The watering and heat could certainly be what caused it. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/plant-leaves-turn-yellow.htm
You may need to fertilize it at some point - here's an article about that:
