I think the answers to your questions all tie together.

Fitz finding her is not what we think is proof for their relationship. It figures into a larger point. Which is, Sophie is strongly connected to Fitz (more so than Keefe) because he's been the steady, unchanging, stable thing in her life when her world was turning upside down. Everything, everything, she knew and loved was going away, she was thrust into a whole new lifestyle and society, she had to relearn everything she'd been taught. Fitz was there for her, he didn't even know her but he was a kind friend and he was stable. No wonder their trust is so deep. So it really doesn't have to do with the fact that Fitz was first to look for her but that he was the one thing she could hold onto in the most shaking time of her life.

Like you said, they've had rocky rough times in their relationship before, but they always come through stronger than before. She's loved him through all of that. So yeah it doesn't only have to do with the length time she's liked him, it also has to do with the incredibly tough times they have gone through to get there. Their relationship just keeps getting stronger.
