what about grad student teachers. you think schools will have a problem if the letter is CO-SIGNED by a dept. head?

Also, one of my recs is coming from a post-doc I had for a biology pre-req. She is a Dr, so do you think schools will actually check to see if she is listed on "the faculty"?

The letter should be fine. I used one from a professor of the same standing.
My other letter was from my professor AND TA, co-signed by both.

To the OP, I'd suggest you have the TA get it signed by the professor.
