I have definitely seen the first issue, at least on 2.1. Seems like the notification pops up only when I run the Market - don't have to check for anything but the very act of running the Market seems to trigger a check on the number of updates available. This seems to be the case on 2.2 as well at least the first time I am checking this - right now I had to go to Downloads within Market to see that there is an update though I must caveat this is for a component used by an app (EStrongs File Explorer's Task Manager) as opposed to an app itself. Don't know if that matters.
Not seen issue 2.
