That's wrong, and should even be avoided if possible. Source handles animation blending itself.
If your taunt animation starts with the primary weapon's pose, then using the taunt while holding a melee weapon would make you blend from a melee pose to a half-primary pose, then to the taunt pose, and in reverse at the end of the taunt. If your taunt animation starts with the taunt's pose, then using the taunt will blend directly to/from the taunt pose - this looks better.

No. Start from the taunt's opening pose (potentially slowed down a bit for the first few frames).

alight. another thing the taunt it self is a all class taunt like the rancho relaxo. any info about that?

No, there's no info about all-class taunts like the Rancho Relaxo, because it's not an all-class taunt.
