The way I understand {lu'a}, {lu'a lo'i mikce} is equivalent
to {lo mikce}. Both are "at least one member of the set of
all doctors". But I won't claim that {lu'a} has such a well
established definition as {lo}. There are different
understandings of how LAhEs work and they've never been fully
clarified.

>(2) arises from another concern. I'm wondering whether it would work

Those are all equivalent. In logical terms, they all
reduce to Ex:N(mi,x)&M(x)
where N(,) is nitcu and M() is mikce.
