Why didn't Han come back a little earlier so that numerous Rebels didn't die? Why didn't Wedge or other pilots strafe the TIEs or maybe even come in behind them and box them in?

Because this is Star Wars and there isn't a single battle in the trilogy that makes any sense from a military view point.

I hate that you're right about that. It's so sad.
