With the latest version of High Sierra or Mojave your issue with the Nvidia card being enabled and not having HDMI working is what is to be expected. But the reason why it's only showing up as "Display" in the System Info is because you have the macOS Graphics Driver set to be the default and not the Nvidia driver. Once you enable the Nvidia Driver in System Preferences and reboot, you will see the Nvidia Card loaded properly in the System Info.
Is your sleep issue related to removing SSDT-10-OptTabl? Or is it the same if you have it enabled or disabled? I do not have this sleep issue and it's also the first time I'm hearing of it. Having it go to sleep and the fans and keyboard staying lit for 30 seconds to a minute after that is normal. Sometimes the very first time the laptop is set to go to sleep it goes to sleep for a few seconds with the white LED and then it wakes itself back up. But it should wake up to your normal login screen. After that putting, once you put it to sleep it should stay asleep until you wake it up.
It is interesting that removing SSDT-10-OptTabl has fixed the 3 minute black screen issue for you. I'll do some testing with this myself. But they shouldn't be related.
Sleep definitely seems to be SSDT-10-OptTabl related. When it's removed, I can boot properly with backlight *every* time but sleep is broken. The only way to use the computer again is to hold the power button and restart. When it's present sleep behaves like you described, but the backlight issue returns.
