Question 1: no there is no risk. As you said yourself the onboard charger limits the power draw itself, even if there is more available on the socket.

Question 2: this is normal and due to the manner lithium ion batteries are charged. At the beginning of the charge cycle the charger uses a constant current regulation, and the voltage slowly increases as the cells are charged. During this phase the power is the maximum allowed for the battery and the charger. As the voltage reaches the maximum, the charger switches to a constant voltage mode, and the current slowly decreases until the cells are fully charged. During this phase the total power decreases and the charge gets slower and slower.
