2-Not that I know of, so maybe she tucks the sword into her sash... which doesn't sound like a great idea, since it's fabric, which is easier to wear away at from constantly having a blade pass across it than, say, leather or metal. 1-This is the part that I'm really asking about, to be honest.

I mean, if it was something like Weiss removing a vial from the barrel, and then coating the blade on it, it would make perfect sense. Even Weiss making a Fire Slash just by swinging it could've been explained trivially by the "Craterface" scene she had with Ruby episodes before.

The way you explain it is the most sensical way I can imagine. The Dust in a vial being fired off the exhaust to cover the blade on it. But we don't actually know that's how it does it, and it's still a bit different from how the process looks in the show and the W-Trailer.

Also, in hindsight (but irrelevant), the exhaust port could well be (just) for preventing the weapon from overheating or something from using Dust too much.

2-Well, it's a rapier, so at least it can only cut well with the tip. And by cut well I mean cut decently.
