Dunno.  I'll take a look later.  For now, you can just assume it's
magic... =)

It's normal.  Tha pattern plays till the end, loops to the beginning,
picking up the song at the beginning of the switched out pattern.  For
example, if your song has Pattern A at bar 1, B at 5 and C at 9, ending
at 13, if you switch into pattern mode at bar 7, pattern B will loop
indefinitely.  When you switch back to song mode, pattern B will play
till its loop point, then the song will pick up at BAR 5 (not 9).  This
is intentional.  If you had linear song track notes, it's presumed that
you wouldn't want them skipped, so it ensures that they get played.

Neither.  =)  The way that screen works, the pitchbend value field is a
different one from the controller value field (pitchbend is signed
14-bit, controllers are unsigned 7-bit).  The one that's not applicable
is hidden.  Therefore, when you scoll through a pitchbend event, the
controller value field no longer exists, and as such, your cursor can't
be on it.  Kinda unfortunate, but that's just the way this one works.
