1) sigma (for the default carFollowModel) controls random slow-downs.
Vehicles drive slower than their preferred/optimum speed in any given
situation. This leads to a "ragged" look of the speed curve even in free
flow conditions. In contrast, speedDev controls the deviation of preferred
speed. This set a fixed random speedFactor value for each vehicle so in the
absense of sigma each vehicle would drive with a constant speed in free
flow but each vehicle would do this at a different speed.

2) departure time is only affected directly if option
--random-depart-offset is set. You may see some effects from sigma and
speedDev due to departDelay-interactions at high density though. Vehilce
type drawing should be affected though.

Just for clarity: are you comparing simulation runs with different values
of --seed?
