A jivanmukti is free from karmic consequence, good or bad, and from suffering. That’s because karma is generated in the consciousness (some would call this awareness) not in the pure chit of the Self.

Yes, Subhadra is also an avatar.
Subhadra is an amsa avatar of Satarupa, the wife of Svayambhuva Manu.

From the amsa of Kamala, Draupadi emerged out of the fire altar; from
the womb of Devaki, Subhadra was born from the amsa of Satarupa.

This is unnecessary complicating of a poetic language used in the gita. If someone says your face is like moon, it doesn't mean you have 16 scars on your face. Most probably IMHO, Krishna was speaking poetically saying I'm all the light that there is. In the light of Sun and in the light of Moon
