Velveting is a Chinese cooking technique of marinating meat in a cornstarch mixture before cooking. It's not strictly necessary, but it's highly recommended as it creates a wonderfully tender, silky texture on the meat that you find in restaurant dishes.
Stir-fries are best enjoyed fresh. While you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, the vegetables will lose their crispness upon reheating. For meal prep, you can chop all the vegetables and marinate the meat ahead of time to make cooking faster.
If you can't find Shaoxing wine, a good substitute is dry sherry. In a pinch, you can also use Japanese mirin (though it's sweeter) or simply use a bit more chicken broth.
This usually happens if the cornstarch wasn't fully dissolved in the cold liquid before being added to the hot wok. Always give your sauce a vigorous re-whisk right before pouring it in to prevent clumps.
