You are correct, you can buy the GA for a minimum of four months if you are living here, so you will need to submit a copy of your B-permit to the SBB when you apply, and possibly some other documents. Regarding depositing your GA at the train station, I believe you can do this for a minimum of 7 days at a time, for a maximum of 4 weeks (maybe one month, I'm not sure) during the year. When you collect the card again, you get a money voucher that can be used for future SBB tickets. Since you have an AG you don't need to buy tickets very often, but presumably the voucher can be used for a trip on a mountain railway that is not included in the AG or a trip into another country. Your local train station will be able to fill in any more details or answer other questions you have.

Regarding your other question, you won't be able to visit Tarasp in the same weekend that you visit the Gd. St. Bernard pass. Spend a different weekend exploring the Engadine valley and visit it then.
