1) Yeah Rebecca is royalty, but she has lived her live as a gladiator. I don't think she will do a Vivi-style "I can't join, my country needs me". Like Videogamep said: "She doesn't have any duties tying her to her home like Vivi or Shirahoshi..." and also "...Viola would be next in line for the throne (after Doflamingo is defeated), not Rebecca." the only thing, that I see, that whould make her not join would be to spend some time with her father.

2) I said: "I would like for Bartolomeo to join, but I don't see it hapening." Plus I could care less about Gambia...
