1) the shooting lights are Elf in a Bottles crashing in your Springfield after being fired out out other people's Elf Cannons (actually, they just show up in batches of 3 every few minutes, but that's the idea) and the sound is that of the glass bottles breaking (good thing we don't have to clean up all the broken glass).

2) that's Luanne VanHouten ridding her "MegaGlobe", I believe it's a 16 hour job, and you need the Cracker Factory to get her (Premium Character).

3) I don't know, might be the game refreshing the properties for your benefit.  Personally, I remove people once they've stopped playing for a week or more and replace them with more committed players from the Username Corkboard in the Forum.

4) not unless they are on the Wikia.  As far as I know there are no personal profiles associated with the Origin account.
