Here is a fact sheet from museumpests.net on the Latridiidae, Minute Brown Scavenger Beetles: http://www.museumpests.net/pdfholder/54image.pdf
It should answer your questions.

I peeled back the plastic that I had over the sticky trap in order to get some better pictures and possibly found an adult. To my uneducated eye, the adult looks like Cleridae in shape but not coloration. If it is a Cleridae of some sort, how alarmed should I be?

A couple of possibilities are Cryptophagidae or a young Cleridae, but I think you'd need to show a specimen to a coleopterist to be sure.
