It is possible to kill it before, and yes, it'll stop the main boss from doing her own Trigger.

I haven't tested it, but it feels like avoiding the add Trigger works with just Paralyzing it just before it half health. I've seen Rags which just shouldn't avoid the add Trigger still avoid it somehow, so I guess the add Trigger happens on the first turn on the add being under half health rather than the first action. So assuming that everyone in the raid took a turn when the mob was Paralyzed and at half health, there will be no Triggers.

Again, I haven't tested it. That's just the only thing that makes sense to me in some of the raids I've seen.
