thanks
The TSA requirements aren't nearly as rigid as you've been led to believe. Different GDSes map the name fields slightly differently so they print differently. It won't actually be a problem while traveling.

Just because a plane is in the air doesn't mean that it has an arrival gate assigned. It may have had one and had to change because another plane is stuck at the gate and won't clear in time, for example. I highly recommend you attend a Do that involves a Ramp Tower tour if possible. You'll learn a TON about gate assignments and management of those resources and that would help you understand those bits better.
