Regarding why Mount Weather didn't approach the 100 earlier, they may have simply not had the chance to even know what the Dropship was at first. After all, if they were aware of the Ark's existence before it landed they might have tried to contact it directly to arrange a trade of resources- supplies and advice on where to land in exchange for donations to help them leave the mountain- but as it was, they were initially unaware that the dropship and Raven's pod were anything other than meteors at first, so they only made contact with the 100 when they did because that was how long it took them to learn that there was anyone 'new' on the ground.
