Hi,

I can't comment on the first points, but

"lost+found" is a file system directory that is used e.g. by fsck on
file recovery. So IMHO nothing suspicious, file systems like ext3/ext4
have it.

Quoting from Wikipedia [0]:
"Most fsck utilities provide options for either interactively repairing
damaged file systems (the user must decide how to fix specific
problems), automatically deciding how to fix specific problems (so the
user does not have to answer any questions), or reviewing the problems
that need to be resolved on a file system without actually fixing them.
Partially recovered files where the original file name cannot be
reconstructed are typically recovered to a "lost+found" directory that
is stored at the root of the file system."

and Wikipedia [1]:
"Some file systems contain a special directory, called "lost+found"
under Unix, where a file system check places lost and potentially
corrupted files when the correct location cannot be determined, and so
requires manual intervention by the user."
