I'd let the juices come out on a plate, add a little extra virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice to it and spread it over the steak before serving - rather than letting the juices get soaked in the kitchen paper.
Its a tricky question - depending on how you like to cook your steak (rare or well done) it can go coldish. If you prefer wrap it up in foil to keep the warmth in (it doesn't need to be exactly 5 minutes- it can be a bit less but it is best to let it rest all the same). The reason you let it rest is for the meat to relax - the muscle fibres of the meat loosen giving you a better texture and taste. Have a look at my rack of lamb video as well as this might help explain too.
That was a normal sized steak but yes you can do the same thing for larger steaks. I also have a video for cooking rack of lamb for an alternative non griddle method.
Good vid. Question. Do you ever use a flat skillet to cook steak, or sear on the stove top and finish in the oven? I'm finding that using a grill pan tends to overcook the exterior simply because there is very little ambient heat penetrating the steak, and rather it is cooking only on contact, and there is very little surface area in contact with the grill. Any advice? thx.
Yes, get your cast iron pan (skillet) scorching hot, sprinkle whatever spices you want on both sides of the steaks, and place into pan. Set oven to 350. Sear side one until dark, flip, and sear until dark again. Slide entire cast iron pan into oven, and finish steaks to your likeness. I like medium rare, which can be done right on the stovetop, with a 1 inch ribeye, for example.
Well you can do that too, the video was used to show the basic technique - anything you like will make it better, chilli oil, coriander etc.

Doesn't the steak go cold after you rest it for 5 minutes?
