The geometries act as a focus and conduct aether, which is why they're typically drawn in specialized inks for the purpose. You could perhaps reproduce the geometries with a computer and a printer, but without the will to channel aether through them, they'd just be pretty pictures.
As for magitek healing, given that Garlean mobs employ "healing spells," I'm not sure why someone would assert that magitek healing is impossible. I don't recall ever seeing lore indicating that's the case. While the healing we see from Medicus mobs could be conscripts who can use magic, it could also be from magitek devices, which seem to be able to do a wide variety of things.
I thought that seemed silly! Especially since conjury staves are supposed to be made from special trees or whatnot, yet the ironworks healing staff is very clearly a magitek device. I was told it was a lore oversight for the sake of the gear theme, but I think it's quite literally magitek healing technology!
