You can always use extern(), thats does not seem to be a practical problem.

This is the hard part.
cado-nfs sparse linear algebra is much faster than PARI.
In fact PARI quadratic sieve would probably be fast enough
if cado-nfs sparse linear algebra was used.

No, a,b,c are much smaller than p, so |a+b+c| < p.
