Wifi already does link-layer retransmission.
When a packet is lost at the IP layer, one or more of its fragments have already failed to be received after a number of retransmissions.

Much of the interference/noise is traffic for other APs or traffic for other 2.4GHz protocols. Sending even more data makes the noise problem worse.
If you're getting 50% packet loss, then you'd be better off fixing that rather than trying to work round with client fudges (i.e. change radio channel, move/add APs, change/move antennae, etc.).
As for 2, as I understand it HTTP 2 solves this.
