The 120/70 is a much better choice than the 120/60. The taller profile allows greater flex, helping heat buildup/retainment. If it was my race bike I'd just move the fender and run the better tire. There's a reason why rear race tires come in 180/60 and not just 180/55. There's also the...
It's not unusual for a shop to discount installation with a tire purchase, and to be honest, that's actually quite fair; however, that should be made clear when the rims/bike are dropped off at the shop and outlined in a quote prior to handing over the keys. Refusing to install tires purchased...

There are precautions that can be taken to ensure everything goes smoothly. Is the ECU getting flashed on the bench or on the bike? If it's on the bike then what is the condition of the battery (it can take 30-45 minutes to read certain ECUs)? Is the bike plugged into a charger and if so...
A proper tune takes 2-4 hours depending on the fueling system in use. I can tune any bike for 100% throttle in about 30-40 minutes, but that's not where you do the bulk of your riding. Some bikes can take 30-40 minutes of set up time just to get dyno ready. You need to set rear tire pressure...
