What should I do about the secondary savings account that Bangkok Bank wants me to open?

A second account is a very good idea as you can keep your big money in one account and use the other for operating expenses using ATM card and QR payments. A FX account can also be useful.

Is the landlord legally required to file the TM30 for foreign tenants every time they return from overseas?

Outrageous ! A good agent provides this service for free. I would always ask up front about TM 30 before signing any rental contract.
