I don't have time to get into it in great depth, but just to plant an idea before Shabbos: I think that the first three מכות also targeted the Jews. Ibn Ezra first entertains the idea (he says that straight through, the Jews were spared from the harsher ones, but subject to those not as bad - an opinion I don't really understand). Can you figure out what in the text gives that impression, or think why that might be the case? If it's not true, how else would you explain the answer to the first question?
Have a great Shabbos.
