1. 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 (where it literally seemingly flows into the blade as if filling an empty tube).

2. 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. 1. Powder comes out the exhaust port, onto the blade, now you've got a Dusty blade. *Shrug*

2. How would it overheat? This isn't a machine. It's literally just vials of magical powder. The exhaust port is actually lined up with the revolver to where you can line a vial up perfectly between the hammer and the exhaust port.
