It could be that the excessively # notes are due to keys opening too much. (The low D is about the worst on most bassoons) Also odd slight leaks can affect notes - the leak not necessarily being near the hole in question. Worth getting a good repairer with bassoon expertise to check it over. I see many instruments where lots of the pads open far too much.

I agree with Brett's comments. Also you must keep the air support up even if your reaction is to reduce it to try & lower the pitch - achieve that by the embouchure.
