First isn't a bug, second is and has been reported previously.  Not sure, but I'd expect IC is going to fix it soon.

As for the first, abilities generally calculate their damage and do their special effects instantly meaning the graphic lags slightly.  That's my understanding anyway.

Yes. Turreted weapons fire in sins is not physics based and any effects you see are simply there for eye candy. Dunno about the missiles though.
