age: maximum 30 points if you are within the 25-32 yrs old bracket
english: for ielts, you must have a band score of 7 for all components to qualify for the 10 point mark. pag may isa mababa sa 7, you cannot claim for points
skills assessment: degree = 15 points, diploma = 10 points.. as for your work experience, the assessing authority always reserves the right to deduct work experiences from you claim to determine when you are actually skilled. so if assessing authority deducted 5 years, meaning after the 5th year lang magstart ang skilled employment mo.. so you can only claim 5 points for your work experience..

Ganyan din ung assessment ko.. 7 years and 9 mos as Lab Technician.. tapos more than 3 years as Scientist..
Meron po bang iba na nakatanggap ng assessment as Scientist na hindi "more than 3 years yung nakalagay"?
Pero sa mga naunang batch tinanggap nmn lahat ng work experience at hindi ngbase dun sa assessment na more than 3 years..

Regarding your first question, yes, your agent is right, you need to have 7 band score for each section of ielts to gain 10 pts. Sadly, you have to repeat your english exam. Try PTE it is easier.
On your employment history, your Lab Tech assessment was >7 years while the MLS exam result was >3 years. That is ok because DIBP will verify this with AIMS during your visa processing. Tell your agent to follow the Lab tech assessment (10pts max) and use the MLS ANZSCO code.
Since you cant claim 10 pts from your english exam, I guess your total score is only 55pts. Assuming you're 25-32 yrs old. You need 60 for 189 visa. You can try 190 visa also. July 1 is nearing anyway.
I hope this helps. Please correct me if Im wrong coz Im no expert on this. I too only base my opinion on what I read on this forum. >-
