yes, that works b/c by setting ALBUMARTIST SC no longer thinks anything
is a comp.  as you found out, the only way around that is to go the
extra step and explicitly make clear something is a comp via a comp
tag.

wouldn't it be nice however, if you could, without changing anything
tag wise, simply browse only album artists, or only artists, or both
together?  unfortunately, SC decides for you how it will be, depending
on your tags.

regarding your second issue, please try to be specific when you say
"show up."  i assume you mean on the SB, but you could mean in the
webui, etc...

BAND and ALBUMARTIST are not the same.  if you set a BAND, that has
different reamifications than setting an album artist, and i think you
need to check it in settings under the music library tab if you want it
in the artists list.

also, if you use band instead of album artist, a comp=1 tag is no
longer necessary, but doesn't hurt.  band doesn't keep SC from
detecting comps, (album artist does).

you also might want to try the "List albums by band" setting.  that may
be for mp3 only tho, i don't do much with flac.

as to why the SB won't display artist AND album artist, i can't say, i
pay more attention to the webui.
