Main problem is that weirwoods exist only in Westeros. So Andals could not worship weirwoods in Essos.

We don't know that as a certainty. There are Weirwood objects in Braavos. (HoBaW). Maybe they were there when Dorne was still connecting Westeros to Essos. And then something happened for the Andals to go against them.

That is very true but their entire history is bullshit. I believe in the lowest level of the House of Black and white their is a monstrous weirwood that connect the weirwood network from Westeros to Essos.

Weirwoods are in caves underground throughout the the world. The religion started in the mines in Valyria. 

In the official artwork of the “Father” their is a weirwood plain as day in it.

We may need to know how far a weirwood tree (of each size) can extend its roots to meet another weirwood tree's roots. And what sorts of country and climate weirwoods can grow in. Likely a full weirwood connection from Westeros to Essos would need ability for weirwoods to grow in the Prince's Pass, or e.g. in the apparent higher pass by Yronwood; and further east along the wetter land all along the lower south slopes of the Red Mountains, and then the (then unbroken) Arm of Dorne to where Tyrosh is now. And after the Arm broke, whether a full connection could survive underwater.

Are all weirwoods united and controlled either by one over mind or some kind of collective?

Or does there exist many "political entities" among them?

So there is a possibility that real reason why Andals came to Westeros was civil war among weirwoods and some of them "hired" some axemen just to wipe out other weirwoods.:rolleyes:

In a sept, is there any evidence as to whether the 7 images were arranged:-

(1) Along the wall of the (7-sided or circular) sept room, all facing inwards.

(2) All on a central circular platform, facing outwards.

 

I think it differs from place to place. Baelor's Sept most likely the former or in a straight line. Simple sets in villages probably the latter
