All this time he's been planning for a what-if scenario of Nolan returning to Earth, and he has literally nothing to show for it to stop a single Viltrimite?

Cecil expected Nolan. It's mentioned in the episode that Anissa is beyond Nolan's demonstrated strength. We know Mark can hold his own and defeat a single Viltrumite (Thula) in combat. We don't know how big the gap is between Mark and Nolan, just that Nolan is still stronger than Mark by a good margin. It will take time for Mark to catch up. Cecil mentions taking measures to beef Mark up in this episode.

Likewise, the Reanimen were still in progress. He can't instantly make all these measures happen.

Not once did they mention Anissa demonstrated strength beyond Nolan. He said faster, not stronger

Not once in the show continuity has it been implied that Viltrumites who are faster than other Viltrumites would for any reason also be weaker than that Viltrumite.

Nolan being slower than Red Rush for example has no bearing on whether or not Mark is faster or slower than Thula. We know that if Mark is weaker than another Viltrumite, he is typically also slower than that Viltrumite.
