Answer 1

I'm not sure, but every watir-webdriver element has the - (Object) wait_until_present(timeout = 30) method.

if this step is optional, you should check for visibility:

element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class = 'T-Jo-auh']"));

if (element.isDisplayed()) {
  element.click();
}

Please note, I'm not a java guru, and the code above was not tested. Give it a try.
