I suspect but haven't been able to confirm, it was omitted as it is called Fedora Icon theme. Remixes are required to remove all Fedora branding but this may be going a bit too far. You would need to install fedora-icon-theme to have the theme you wanted. Sorry for the confusion. For number 3 I've tested on a number of 24 and 25 systems and haven't been able to recreate the issue. I don't know what to suggest but if you find anything please let me know.
