Yes they do.
As to the first post, pure speculation, but I would guess that was perhaps a pax who missed their original flight and so was put on the standby list for a later flight (standby rather than confirmed if flights were full). The second post (on both standby lists) does sound like a non-rev, though.
And as to the OPs question, yes a gate agent can certainly report bad non-rev behavior (I had one of my employees a few years back almost get put on non-rev probation).
