4. "I don't think so" to either question...

This may vary from place to place obviously but in the places I've lived (I'm a scanner/radio enthusiast), when a tag/ and or and drivers license get run, it returns with whether the registration and insurance are valid or invalid and whether the driver has any warrants. It can also indicate other things about them such as if they have convictions but seeing as how a warning citation is not a conviction, I would be very surprised if the officers had that information. But again, it depends on how sophisticated your agency is. The highway patrol may have something like that for instance but not the local pd. On the other hand, if you end up in traffic court and try to plead for mercy with the judge over a ticket, don't be surprised if the judge had that information.

As for the first question, I highly doubt it. But you know.. they gotta look and act busy so count on it happening.
