Yes, this is a very strange bug, didn't find the cause yet.

Well, the symbol list is updated everytime when the file is saved. To
update it more often, e.g. regularly just save the file more often.
The symbol list can only be updated when the file is saved(i.e.
actually written to disk) because the tagmanager only works on files
not on buffers. On the TODO there is already an item to get the
tagmanager also working on text buffers not only on files. As a
workaround, use the autosave plugin.

Yes, the cursor must be within the { }. This is also documented and I
won't change it because it would be a lot of work for a very less
change. Just click within the { } before inserting a function comment.

Fixed in SVN, sorry.

Yes it would be cool but it has to be implemented...not a high priority
for me.
