AFAIK mail_admins is designed to send error messages to the site
administrator, not for the purpose you are proposing, so you won't get
the original email. Your proposal seems reasonable enough to me since
you're not using mail_admins as designed.
Why take only the second admin email address?

I believe ModelChoiceField is meant to be used with ModelForm. I'd
stick to one or the other. Either use ModelForm and let it do the
work, or use Form and do the work yourself rather than trying to get
ModelChoiceField to work.

Django admin can't differentiate between empty string and None and
picks empty string which makes sense in most cases.
If you don't like the idea of empty string override the save method
and coerce empty string to None before calling the super classes save,
e.g.
class YourModel(models.Model):
I think that would be quite an undertaking as you would need to write
an expression parser and monkey around with the search code in admin.
If you succeed, I'd be interested to see the result.

iPython is great for this sort of thing, especially the code
