Not quite, the program itself could have been used to exploit the game via it's plugin system that was in planning stages at the moment of SE shutting it down.
Maybe, that's why they took it out and never implemented it themselves.
Definitely not. The reason they shut it down was because of hacking the game exe. The reason they didn't implement it is laziness or incompetence, pick one.

Also, I much prefer they prepare content for now and 2.0 than fixing a minor annoyance that will be fixed anyway in 2.0. Priorities, priorities.

I prefer fullscreen as well, but in the mean time, windowed mode is not that bad.
It's not a minor annoyance, they have multiple teams and the only reason half of the players is downplaying the issue is because, well, they use that said first windower themselves and don't give a damn about SE's inability to code for the PC platform.
