Glottal ejective is impossible, because ejectives are formed by closing the glottis along with the normal articulation, causing the "pop"

As far as I know, yes.

No idea how to explain this... you say it as if you have laryngitis, I guess. Like you've something caught in your throat.

An "r" sound.

Along with the normal articulation, yes.
