So if an ADIRU goes insane, the instruments would show it, right?

One of the EICAS Caution messages is NAV ADIRU INERTIAL, which means that the ADIRU is not capable of providing valid attitude, position, heading, track, and groundspeed. I'm not sure if they got this Caution as it was an internal error that may not have triggered the Caution.

Yes, I would. You can always disconnect it

That is a very bad idea after a failure like the one described above. You might not be so lucky after the next go-round!

Let the Techs figure it out, on the ground.
