Well, you can split it any way you like, but Burning Wrath does
"Strength+2 damage, aggravated" which, in this case, is
3 aggravated damage.
A better example would be a Saturday Night Special with Dragons
Breath Rounds (DBR adding two aggravated damage to the SNS's
one normal damage). In that case, you could use the two Flak
Jackets to prevent the two aggravated and burn a blood to heal
the remaining point of damage (which happens to be normal).

Damage preventions effects can prevent any pending point ogf damage
- they are not bound to prevent the point of damage that would be
resolved first.

Yes, or you could yield them both.

If by Logic you mean real-world explanation, well, there you
won't find much help - the "real world" logic would have a
hard time justifying a Methuselah contesting cards with herself
in the first place.
Rules logic:
You have two contested cards.
During your untap, you must choose which (if any) of your contested
cards you wish to continue contesting. For those, you burn one
pool each. The rest are yielded.
Note: after burning a pool to contest one copy and yielding the
other, the copy you still have is still contested until your
next untap phase, by the rulebook.

Right.

Until the referendum is concluded, right.
You redraw after the referendum. If the referendum was part of
a political action, then the acting minion could still play,
for example, Freak Drive.
