I will chime in on this but others can answer the other parts of your 
question. The 800-53 is a controls catalog. Nothing will ever have them all. 
Think of it as a list of good ideas to choose from should you have a need. 
So, what you do is define a policy based on a threat model and enable those 
controls. Example policies are the STIG, USGCB, OSPP, or many others. They 
will always be a subset of the whole catalog. And each will be a little 
different because they aim at a different threat model.
