You have to use the write-through mode if the stick consistency is the goal. 
The write-behind (asynchronous) synch can not  guarantee the strong consistency 
in all the cases.

A transaction is written to the db first and then to the grid. That avoids any 
imaginable out-of-sync issues. Read more here:

The reply on 2) covers this bullet point.
