Three doubts about sandhya vandanam:

Only Narayana was present at the begining...  From Narayana Brahma 
was born... From Brahma Rudra was born...
The lineage is clear. Narayana is the progenitor of progenitor, 
Brahma, of whose forehead Rudra was begat. During sandhya vandanam 
before gayathri avahanam stotras are done to 1. Brahma as a kumari on 
a Hamsa vahana in the morning, 2. Rudra as yuvathi at noon on  Vrsha 
vahana and 3. Vishnu as an old lady, vrddha in the evening on Garuda 
vahana.
Here the well setablished order seems to be distorted as the younger 
Rudra is considered as a young woman where as the elder Brahma is a  
mere girl. Should it not have been Rudra as kumari and Brahma as 
yuvathi? Vishnu as vrddha is ok. What is the answer to this apparent 
distortion?
What is the correct explanation for the dilemma of a prapanna who has 
to worship Rudra and Brahma during sandhya vandanam which cannot be 
relinquished at any cost? If the answer is that the prapanna is 
supposed to worship the antaryami Narayana in these deities then why 
not do that pleasent duty directly? If this is sanctioned then why 
cant the prapanna woship all deities using the same method? 
Geethacharya has unamibguously said that He should be resorted to 
directly.
Is there a different version of sandhya vandanam for prapannas?

I humbly request some knowledgable person to clarify.
