Also, should all grounds go to the same point? For example, should my pickup lead ground to the same spot as the pot lug or ground wires? Thanks!

Yeah, the harnesses that I sell and RS sells have the ground wires from pot to pot, which replaces the need for the metal grounding plate that Gibson uses. Here's a photo of my LP Standard that just got rewired this weekend:
