This times 1000 - in fact, start making a journal with notes of every expense, start keeping the receipts for everything you spend at this point. You never know who is going to want what - whether you can take your ultimate out of pocket off your taxes, whatever. Everything is potentially money at this point.

Definitely - and, honestly, if you can afford it - just do it all. The moisture in the air from floods like this is just vapor sludge - as it heats up, you'll have spores and shite where water doesn't even permeate, directly. Studs and tile are pretty resistant, but sheetrock is essentially a sponge during times like these.

I would go higher than 6". My flood insurance adjuster said 12" over the water line. House had water in it for 3 days. I took out to the 12" above and when the drying company came out, they detected moisture in the dry wall 8"-10" above what was removed. I had to take out more. Pain in the arse.
If you want to play it safe, any decent hardware store will be selling moisture meters. Get one and check the dry wall. Make sure you get the wet stuff out, or you'll be seeing mold show up later.
