Need Help/Advice: Cooking a Large Meal

I have fallen in love with sous vide cooking ever since I got my Joule a few weeks ago, but I'm still pretty new to this and I could use some advice from more experienced cooks.

Long story short, I volunteered to cook for some folks on Christmas Eve and I want to do tri tip... my plan is to cook them at home, and then finish them off in a cast iron skillet.

My questions:

  1. There are 7 people who will be eating and they will likely all have solid appetites. How many ounces of meat per person should I plan?

  2. Is there a limit to how much meat can be cooked in the same bath, or is it fine so-long as water is circulating around everything?

  3. I'd like to make some sort of sauce/gravy after I'm done searing the meat... I wouldn't want to use anything with alcohol, so is there another way to make a good sauce from stuff on the pan?

Thanks for the help!
