The packages related to the first two point are "Installed as a dependency for another package" so you can find them in the orphans view.

I prefer to let them installed as it's totally harmless and they can be useful when updating the package.
Right, I forgot that AUR always needs compiling, even when updating. That answered my questions well, thank you!
