Before. Popping purple inspirations before running into a group in bodyguard mode helps the same way. The game checks to see if you take damage first, and if so, takes any powers or buffs on you that would reduce that damage into account. Whatever is left over is what gets divided out and assigned to your pets.|

Tough + Ancillary/Patron Shields can push S/L resist to mastermind cap pretty easily, which is situationally very useful for precisely this reason (like if you tank for your pets,) though you could just eat oranges like you said.
Before, yes. The more "invincible" you can make yourself via DEF or RES, the "tougher" your pets become as well (assuming the damage is channeled through you)

Just to add to what everyone else said (nothing so far is incorrect), I want to mention that pets cannot resist the shares of damage they receive from you.
Where to now?

This is why Provoke is so important or maybe I should say very helpful for a mastermind when it makes sense to pick it up for the build your playing. This is why Tankermind builds are what they are.
