A:

Discoveries are always critical, so having a higher crit chance on crafting (such as the booster gives) has no effect on discoveries.

Wrong. These are all the sources of bonus experience on a craft, and they are additive.

Masterwork + 100%
Rare + 225%
Discovery + 100%
Critical + 50%

A discovery will double the experience from an exotic craft, aka give you 200% cxp, while an exotic discovery that criticals will give you 250% cxp, or 25% more // + 50%. A discovery of a rare item will give you (100+225+100) 425% cxp, meaning the discovery only increased cxp by ~31%. A critical of a rare discovery would give you 475% cxp, or an increase of ~12% for the crit.

Also note that exotic items have different base cxp and ranges that they are valid than all other items.

Craft booster only affects your chance to get a critical while crafting. A critical can occur at any time, even during a discovery, while your chance to critical is greater than 0%.
