Please see my answers below:
1. The COE should include a "detailed" job description as ACS will assess if the tasks you are doing for the past 10 years are closely related to your nominated occupation. Please request your company HR to specify in the COE that you work as a "full time" or "regular" employee. In my case, my previous employer is not keen in providing a detailed job description since they can only provide a standard template with my salary and job title so what I did is to prepare an affidavit and asked my former colleague (Team Leader) to sign it. Once signed, have it notarized before submitting to ACS.
2. I think it's fine to include your MIT transcript as long as you can also provide your transcript showing the course units of your Bachelor's degree (ECE). This will be assessed by ACS to determine the professional "ICT content" of your qualification.
3. For your work experience, I can't really say if Systems Analyst would be more suitable as it really depends on how closely related your work experience is to the description of this occupation.
Just like you, I also started as Technical Support and performed several ITSM roles Problem Manager, Incident Manager, Change Manager but I nominated ICT Business Analyst -
261111 because the tasks I'm doing are more related to this occupation. I got a positive assessment from ACS last year.
