Winter Lady Restrictions
LostInTime:
But, there was still a favor given for a favor granted. Equal exchange. The price the Warden extracted was very steep, monetarily. But, even with all of the supernatural heavy hitters gathered in Chicago, the Warden was the only one that could bind and imprison Ethniu. Now she's a resource he could use. Harry effectively got paid twice for doing the same job. Plus, he holds the eye. A completely unequal bargain, but by fae rules and equal exchange.

No, Iron is something specific.
Aluminum, for example, is more "worked" than iron (it takes more-advanced mortal tech to extract and process) but offers no extra damage. Bronze is comparably worked to steel, but offers no extra damage. Even a piece of wood -- if elaborately carved, properly seasoned, etc; all "mortal workings" -- should make the fae vulnerable, but does not. Modern synthetics should be the worst of all... nylon, plastic, etc. None are a problem for the fae.

I think we have yet to see Jim's explanation for that. It may be as you speculate here; or it may be something wholly-different.

Even when Harry, as the Warden of Demonreach, bound Ethniu, he was then able to bind Lady Molly to pay for all the medical aid and funeral for Chicago. Because the Warden is not bound to Winter or a signatory of the Accords. By binding Ethniu, he put Winter in his debt. Ethniu was Winter and Accorded nation's enemy. Winter had to balance the scales with the Warden.

Christmas gifts are something else; that's part of Winter's obligation, liege to vassal (I wonder if Harry did anything for Toot? And if not, is he in any sort of "trouble"?).
Harry didn't "bind" Lady Molly to pay; that came as a surprise to him.

Actually it was Mab and the members of the Accords, Harry didn't bind her into it. Because they brought the battle to Chicago,Harry claimed the members of the Accords violated the "guest-right" rule. Paying for medical and funeral bills was one of the things he demanded from the members of the Accords to compensate the people of Chicago for damages done to them and their city by the battle. Harry also stressed that it was needed to restore balance. Mab backed him up on it, he is her vassal, the Winter Court followed through and Lady Molly presented him with the receipts for the medical and funeral bills paid, on Christmas Eve.

Go back and read Battle Ground, the part where Molly is walking around in a fireman's coat after the battle. Molly even said that Harry has bound a queen right after he makes the demand.

Molly can use a phone because she is no longer human. The Fae use technology constantly throughout the series. Mab has a yacht and a fleet of cars. In Cold Days the Redcap rides a jet ski. Even Harry's effect on technology is fading. In Storm Front he walks the stairs to his office and now he rides elevators without thinking about it.
