Maybe.

I still don’t see how Sessions or congress can discredit a year long
investigation by the IG unless they attack the IG as an Obama appointee.
Congress would have to uncover information that the IG discarded,
overlooked or whitewashed.

And since the DOJ and the FBI are not complying with document
request, how does congress get those documents and interviews
as a basis for calling for a Special Council.

Congress would have to uncover information that the IG discarded, overlooked or whitewashed.

I fully expect that, if they wait until the IG report is released before releasing all of theirs.

But they have the benefit and advantage of being able to release multiple reports. A good strategy they are surely considering would be to release one before the IG, containing very damaging information and forcing the IG to hold serve and contain it as well. Then when the IG report is released, then release another from Congress as say but you still missed this, this, and this.

Regarding your other question, here’s an example of how:
