Critical time is taken for issuance of Emirates ID. Other formalities can be done quickly by your employer. EID may take 2 weeks or more.

No, MOFA generally will not entertain the request without UAE Embassy in home country doing the attestation first - they only verify the stamp of the UAE Embassy in home country.
