See include/linux/blkdev.h. -1 is:
#define BLK_ALL_ZONES ((unsigned int)-1)
Which is documented in block/blk-zoned.c:
/**
* blkdev_report_zones - Get zones information
* @bdev: Target block device
* @sector: Sector from which to report zones
* @nr_zones: Maximum number of zones to report
* @cb: Callback function called for each reported zone
* @data: Private data for the callback
*
* Description:
* Get zone information starting from the zone containing @sector for at most
* @nr_zones, and call @cb for each zone reported by the device.
* To report all zones in a device starting from @sector, the BLK_ALL_ZONES
* constant can be passed to @nr_zones.
* Returns the number of zones reported by the device, or a negative errno
* value in case of failure.
*
* Note: The caller must use memalloc_noXX_save/restore() calls to control
* memory allocations done within this function.

No. zone_idx is *always* the index of the zone in the current report. Whatever
that report is, regardless of the report starting point and number of zones
requested. E.g. For a single zone report (nr_zones = 1), you will always see
zone_idx = 0. For a full report, zone_idx will correspond to the zone number.
This is used for example in blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to initialize the zone
bitmaps.

The check is not needed at all.
If the device is buggy and reports more zones than the device capacity or any
other bugs, the driver can catch that when it processes the report.
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() also has many checks.
