Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
1) If the time is tight and does not allow for ghusl, you must perform tayammum and it is not permissible to delay ghusl until after Fajr. If you intentionally delay it while being aware, you must make up for the fast and pay a penalty.
2) Having a small amount of water in the ear does not invalidate the fast.
May you be successful in all good.
