2. You're forgetting about Basque, and there are no Austronesian languages in Europe. Basque is the only surviving member of te Aquitanian language family, and one of its extinct relatives is believed to have been spoken in modern day Sardinia, and it has left influences upon the Sardinian language (mostly in proper nouns). The Basques are not an island, they're an area between France and Spain, and as I'm sure you're aware, Aquitanian is a sub-division of Indo-European. Seriously, look up Basque Country. It's a language isolate, yes, but it's not a fucking island.

Could've sworn I read somewhere that the Austronesian languages came in, at least marginally, through the middle east to Eurasia, but I'm probably wrong.

After further research, it did, just in the 1950's, so you'd probably not consider that to be right.
