It is actually refreshing when you type, but to avoid refreshing every single key press which could take a long time in bigger documents, it has a delay. The issue here is with quickly typing the same search string that was already there. If the string hasn't changed, it doesn't re-search, I would would probably call this a bug.

Same issue as mentioned above.

If I did a search in a focused section, then navigate to the whole document and go back to the search much later I have no idea if it is looking at the local or global scope. This is one reason it's taken me so long to do this writeup about the search, I had no idea about this automatic search scope changing and could not figure out why I was only getting matches some of the time and not others. I've figured it out now but this is an extremely unclear interface behavior.
We are aware of this.

In oo4 the cursor doesn't move to the search box when the cursor is in the document and this makes no sense. If you click the search button you obviously want to type something in the search box immediately.
Yes, this is a bug we intend to fix.
