but that is not "fighting Eb to a draw" (which is what was said, and is a gross overestimation of Harry's abilities). If Harry had actually tried to throw down with his Grandfather, he'd probably look like crushed raspberries.

He did throw down with Eb and he not only survived it but got Thomas and Lara away safely. More than a draw. Molly created the homuncus for Harry, but that was more of a time issue.

Harry also knew that by asking a favor of Molly she will call him on it at some point. However it was a price he was willing to pay to save Thomas if he could..

Whether or not Molly made the ring is beside the point, Harry knew it was the best way to defeat Eb, because in a physical stand off the odds were in Eb's favor. Also it isn't that Harry couldn't fashion the ring, he just didn't have the time or the materials at hand, but Winter Lady had both at her finger tips. And yes, Eb could make crushed raspberries out of Harry, he knew that and we the readers knew that, so Harry found another way.

That part I never understood. Isn't he hers to command anyway? Looks like Harry got the simulacrum for free.

She can command him for Winter Duty. A favour may of course fall outside of his duty to Winter. For example something in relation to her family.
