True, but they have to do that anyway, right? So this way, they get back to
second Seder faster. That's the theory, anyway, I think. The other reason
I've heard for Heicha Kedusha, BTW, is that it's better to say only three
Berachos out loud: It's more likely that the Kahal will be Mechaven with the
appropriate Amens for those than if the Chazan would recite all nineteen
Berachos.

I don't know, I have never seen V'yiten Lecha said in a Nusach Ashkenaz
Shul, whether or not Yeshivish. FWIW, I can never remember seeing it said in
a Nusach Sefard Shul, either. I do see some people saying it themselves
after Maariv is already over.
