You don't specify whether these files have the waters in them or not.

same question for the above two steps.

Generally, I think you should take the protein (only) part of the mutated
structure (that you may have refined) and re-solvate it with the solvateOct
command. This will generate the proper box information. Of course, you need
to re-equilibrate, but that is probably inevitable after a mutation.
