Answer 1

Correct way of doing this kind of requirement is to do with pagination, since you are loading data from the server side, you should make your api to support pagination.

It should accept three parameters such as number of items, start, limit and you should initially get the number of items and repeat it until you get the whole result set.

There should be another request to get the total number of items. By doing this you can retrieve all the elements at once loaded in the client side. Until that you should have a loading indicator, or you could load this data when the login process/application starts.

limitTo will not be able to help with the search , because you are limiting the results.
