[Q1.] I am wondering if NASA or JPL actually monitor cosmic ray flux
and know this
to be true.

Real time solar protons, neutrons, xrays and the solar cycle
progression -

Space Environment Center - generally

Space Environment Center - Data products index
http://www.sec.noaa.gov/Data/index.html

I don't see gamma rays on the list.

[Q2.] Is it safe to say that these events [GRB and solar flux] would
increase
C14 in the atmosphere also?

Don't know the answer to this one.

P.S. -



You seem to be focusing on solar EMR, not cosmic particles ie. origins from
outside the solar system
