It is probably too late for your match last Friday, but the next time you find yourself working solo, ask for the stand to be moved to the same side of the court as the tables and benches, if possible.
This allows you to communicate with your scorekeeper without coming down and to administer substitutions as well. This has worked for me in the past.
For your second question, you have to make sure the ball was actually touched by a blocker in between hits by the attacking team. What will happen is that a hitter will hit the ball into the tape at the top of the net and the ball will rebound right back without the blockers ever touching the ball. If the blockers do not touch the ball, then you have a potential double hit or four contact violation. It is sometimes very difficult to see this clearly, so you really need to be aware of the possibility of this happening each time the ball is attacked near the net.
