IIRC the incoming producer at the time didn't like Maureen O'Brien, so he had the writers get rid of her with not much time to spare.

Pretty much - from what I remember O'Brien came in after the summer break ready to go, only to read the script for The Myth Makers to find out she was leaving at the end.

With Suzan it's even worse because she's an alien, right? (or am I wrong in understanding that she was supposedly a "Time Lord," even though that term hasn't been used yet as of s3e08)

S308? The Gunfighters? (Or episode 3 of the Myth Makers, depending)

It was established that Susan was from another time and place, but how much that actually came up varied a lot by episode as the writers didn't really follow through on the original character concept (which is why CAF left)

In fact, I'm fairly sure the Doctor being older than he looked was only established sometime during Troughton's run. Early writers seemed to be a bit vague on whether the Doctor and Susan were true aliens, or futuristic humans from some other planet. Of course, the latter was probably set in stone by the time they gave Susan psychic powers.
