Vector art gets exported as eps UNLESS gradients or pantones are used, then it's pdf. If design is raster, then export as rgb tif with LZW Compression NOT jpg or png.
We use the same setup but different work flow. We set up all our prints and cuts within Corel. When we go to cut we pull up the corel file and use the FineCut plugin to plot. Same if using illustrator too. It's a lot easier to troubleshoot that way too. 1 layer for design, 1 layer for reg marks...

I feel your pain. We get bad logos all the time and even after contacted the company directly they still give me bad art files. I'm talking about ones that I can't find on Brands Of The World or in a pdf somewhere. I've even had conversations with the United States Air Force Heraldry office for...
We just did some "double-sided" decals for the same purpose i.e. apply to inside of glass yet visible from inside and outside.
1. Print "mirror image" to clear vinyl
2. Laminate it with a white vinyl that also has white
3. Print a separate non-mirrored one on regular white vinyl
4. Apply #3 to...
