Need. No.

Helpful. Yes.

Most cold immunes have to high of a resist level to be broken from infinity. Sunder forces all previously cold immune monsters to only have 95 cold resist. Therefore no longer immune.

Infinity then lowers their resist another -17%, so low they are at 78% cold resist. From there, your cold mastery (minus enemy cold resistance) works at 1/5th effectiveness vs previously cold immune monsters (but still works at 100% effectiveness vs monsters that weren’t immune to cold). Making a cold mastery that has -150% enemy cold resistance be -30%. Thus making the mosnrwr above now at 58% cold resistance.

From here, any - enemy cold resistance from gear, such as facets work at full effectiveness. So if you have 2x -5% enemy cold resistance facets on your gear, the enemy now has 48% cold resistance. Making your damage to that precious immune monster essentially 1/2 of what the damage says.

There is no breakpoints per se for MF.

Stack as much MF as to not affect your kill speed.

Genenrally speaking, kill speed > MF

The genenral number for not affecting your kill speed is Around 200 MF. Generally from enigma + war travs + a few 7mf SCs. Occasionally use gheeds for more gold/MF to gamble more diadems / claws.
