2) When an infielder makes a fielding error and still throws the ball to 1st, I witness the 1st baseman always catch the throw. Shouldn't there "sometimes" be a second error due to an errant throw or botched catch?

I'm actually unsure about that. If a player reaches base on a muffed ground ball, that's an error. If they then get to second on a bad throw... I think that's still only one error because we're still talking about the same event, but I'm not sure - it's definitely true that you can have an infield single and an error if a runner gets to 2nd on a bad throw that the scorer determines wouldn't have been in time anyway.
If yes, sure, it's a rare play but it'd be neat to see it. In terms of animation I know they're a little bit behind on getting everything in the game that's in Project Scoresheet - I am unsure, for instance, whether PS just doesn't show outfield foul catches or if the devs just haven't animated those yet (since the difference between a ball caught foul and one caught fair is negligible in terms of actual gameplay).
