This sounds like a bug, did you report it?

Both this and 3) are issues with the katepart formatter, which simply needs to 
become configurable. With astyle or a custom formatter based on uncrustify, 
you can already get such styles when you chose "reformat source". But yeah, 
the format-as-you-write part needs to be improved. It won't change until 
someone does the work though - do you feel interested? This is a long standing 
wish...
