As for #2 and #3 ...
If your have an active route (you are navigating), you may see two colored lines.
One extends from your starting point or the latest waypoint to the destination
A thinner line extends from your current position to the destination.
In my case, they are both purplish pink in color.
If you "Stop Navigation" they go away. I'm not aware of a way to suppress the appearance of these lines while you are navigating a route.

An observation with my 62s when navigating an active route and I'm assuming this was what you are observing.
