Yes, that is the pager. It should not appear in the list unless
explicitly requested ("Toggle Skip Window Lists"), or you have settings
inherited from an older E version.

Yes. The only window operation that makes sense on menu borders is
"close". Many themes don't have a close button. In connection with
other changes I disabled menu border ops altogether. It is kludgy to
reintroduce this feature, so I would prefer not to. But I can see it
feels wrong to have a menu close button that doesn't do anything...

??? It is impossible for specific windows not to be updated in the
pager, but updating can only occur if the window is on-screen.

It should only overwrite stuff in menus_GNOME, menus_KDE, menus_Other,
and epplets.menu. When regenerated, the new menus are reloaded without
restarting.

Eh, I think I may have broken something here, will have a look at it.
