You shouldn’t have to do that. Generally, if objects shift, it’s because you have some filters or behaviors that are causing them to be larger than the Canvas size. You can try setting the group to fixed resolution to address this.

When you apply the motion path behavior to the emitter, in the Inspector, change the path to Shape, then you’ll see the well to drag your shape into.

Assuming your write-on effect is using a bezier shape as the path to follow, just apply a motion path behavior to the emitter and use the same shape as the source.

The grid won’t be visible in the rendered project and you can turn it off in the Canvas under the View pop-up menu.
For a background, place your gradient in a 2D group. 2D groups aren’t affected by the camera.

Matt, when I brought in Illustrator artwork, the colors matched exactly, as you can see in the video. There must be something about your file that’s causing the issue – try with a fresh Illustrator file and just add a shape or text like I did and see if it works correctly as a test. I was using CS4 and Motion 4, let me know what you are using.
