I was told approximately 1/3 [of the Section 245(i) Amnesties were granted to Illegals were sponsored by employers]. That's an off-the-cuff, ballpark figure also.

So in your opinion, when I've stated that a few hundred thousand of the million Section 245(i) Amnesties so far granted have been employer sponsored, is that a fair estimate?

And since I understand that employer-sponsored 245(i) Amnesties count against immigration caps, is it also fair to say that a few hundred thousand legal immigrant candidates were not allowed into our country to make room for these Amnestied Illegals?

You are absolutely correct, and that is one of the major flaws of 245(i).
