Probably simpler to upload their verification file using FTP?

If you add it to a copy of header.php in your child theme yes.

As long you are editing the header.php of the child theme and not from the framework. Look in the top right corner at “select theme to edit”, it should show “GDF CHILD” not “GDF”.
