1. Yes.

2. I buy it. I'd love to see the reasons for the differences between Prime!Scotty and nu!Scotty.

3. I suppose they were trying to keep the same kind of jokes going, like calling Spock a hobgoblin. Xenophobic in a really literal sense.

In fact, I'll go one step further and say the tone of the movie was a little lighter than it perhaps should have been. The first 10 minutes is a beautiful picture of death, darkness, despair, etc., followed by suicidal 11 year olds and racial hatred against a minor. And then we get ... humour. It's fun, but I still find the juxtaposition jarring in a notgood way.
