If you're forced to drop out, you'll only get 25% of the beads you've earned until that point, so it's best to drop out after loosing around half of your team. If you voluntarily drop out after a node, you get to keep everything. As for bead gain, the person who commented above left a permalink to a method that could possibly get you more beads, but I think most people get by just on refilling passes. You get a refill for free twice a day so be sure to convert the time from JST to wherever you live so you aren't wasting koban/free refills.

Also most people suggest having a very high amount of koban saved (~60k?), which I also suggest since it would be very helpful. I don't have a lot (I started with only ~20k) but if you do expeditions regularly you should be able to make it up. You also gain koban when you level up (which chances are you'll be doing while grinding through this event, especially if your newer so you require less battles) and after gaining a certain amount of beads koban are awarded to you as prizes so don't give up! Currently, I have ~19k koban and around ~50k beads, so if you pace yourself through the remainder of the event I'm sure you'll get pretty far. Good luck!
