I'm not certain about the listen server issues, but there's an open bug report about servers not showing up in the server browser (Steam or in-game):
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/issues/132 As for launching from the Steam browser, I asked around a bit and apparently launching mods from the Steam browser never worked. A glance at the query protocol suggests that the server can advertise the gameid for Steam to launch the game with, but I don't know exactly how it is configured or if the Steam client honors it.
