1) no ellipsis for flyouts - the triangle provides the indication

+1, they're redundant where the only indicate sub-menus, as the
triangles do that.
I think of ellipsis as a promise not to act immediately without further
input - e.g. I often use the Print... menu rather than a print button
because I want to know for sure the software's going to ask for
settings etc. and not just Print immediately.

I agree with this, and surely this means that (on the main 'file' menu,
there should be ellipses on:
Save As ...
Save as Unzipped...
Save To ...
Import File ...
100% of the very small number of apps. I just checked seem to follow
that convention.

Not that they're authoritative, but hey, they're big, and have some pull.
