Plot induced stupidity are the words you're looking for.

2. That isn't how it works for many reasons.A. Vegeta could only bust a planet with the Galic Gun, he said that this move would destroy the planet. Now he has missed with his Final Flash and Big Bang attack before which is stronger than the Galic gun and the planet was fine. Hell he even hit Cell with a Final Flash and it only destroyed half of his body, if it was a planet buster then it would've destroyed his entire body.
B. He is an android and androids don't have Ki which is why they can't get stronger.
Except that in Dragonball you can control the splash radius of your attacks. The names of attacks are just flashy gimmicks--Roshi's Kamehameha snuffed out the moon. Goku's which was far more powerful didn't even level the stadium in the following tournament.
And if you read the manga, you'd notice how the Final Flash actually ends up in outer space after it hit Cell--funny thing is, Cell even dropped his guard when he tanked it. And Cell is more durable than a planet, so is Freeza, he easily kicked Vegeta's planet busting blast into outer space as well.
Androids store chi/energy, that's why they could drains chi. And fire chi-blasts. They simply don't emit it.

3. Doom has done more than just level a city and he has taken more than some eye lasers.Gero is barely above human, the guy was surprised at Yamcha and his strength, and Piccolo cut his arms with his hand. What speed and strength feats does he have that puts him above Doom? Also Gero can not cause more destruction than Doom. What is stopping Doom from developing a device that shuts Gero down? Gero can't even absorb his energy seeing as he has to make skin contact and the only skin you can see is his eyes and mouth.
Gero loses.
Yamucha--lets see.
He was almost as powerful as Raditz in the end of the Saiyajin arc. Then he received the same training as Goku did. Then after that he trains for three years before the artificial human attack.
If Yamusha went from less than 200 pl, to close to 1,000 (a factor of 5x/year) in a single year. Then he receives the same training as Goku, and then further trains for 3 years, it wouldn't be surprising if he was at Vegeta's level (Saiyajin saga).
And if Gero was surprised and confused him for Goku, then it's only more reasonable to believe that he was.
And Gero was surprised, but that didn't keep him from taking out Yamusha in a single hit, easily piercing Yamusha's body with his hand.
And then we have Piccolo, who after being able to match 2nd form Freeza also gets to train for 3 years. . . . Even king Piccolo could level an entire island from the surface of the earth--that's right, the old king Piccolo. . . . You see where this is heading.
And you would have to be pretty damn ****** to think that Gero wasn't above human reflexes. Even 19 was able to keep up with Ssj Goku, he weaken over time--but still impressed the other Z-fighters, only Piccolo knew what was happening.
You might also recall Vegeta's bluff. Gero would have taken down Vegeta after the battle against 19 (he needed a senzu bean). That's what Piccolo said.
And I don't see why Gero would have to absorb Doom's power. He'll blast the battlefield from above. Doom gets knocked by less.
