I wouldn't recommend making rotors either because it could make them more prone since they are designed to be a certain thickness.
As per warping. This is from a member from a different forum who seems to be more familiar with how brakes work.

Pedal vibration that's usually mis-diagnosed as warped rotors is uneven pad transfer but if you do a proper bed in, which you said you were doing at the time, you avoid that issue-

Depends, if you go with OEM expect to pay that much, but there are aftermarket rotors out there.
But depends on what the customer wants I guess.

Heck, OEM rotors for my Civic were $50 apiece from the states. And my last pair lasted for over a decade
