Both symbols (micro sign, ohm sign) combine with Latin letters to form multiples of units: micrometre, megaohm; even microohm. Therefore I think one might well regard micro sign and ohm sign as some kind of “pseudo-Latin” letters.
Typographically, yes. And this is one reason why font designers may implement them as differently from the Greek letters. Formally, though, MICRO SIGN belongs to the Common script in Unicode while OHM SIGN belongs to the Greek script.
