First, in regard to a lot of what you wrote, one does need to keep in mind this is a SEASON finale, not a SERIES finale, so there are intentionally going to be things left unresolved (cliffhangers) to retain viewers for the next season. Most of your questions will be answered... next summer.

Those that won't are things not crucial to the main plots, things that won't be spelled out for the viewers but are to be assumed/ imagined on one's own if it matters to you. Imagine how boring the show would be if every little detail of everything was discussed in detail, the main plots would then drag on forever if shows were spent getting sidetracked by things like showing news stories and memorial services for all the random, nameless, faceless police officers killed or showing each teen party attendee hungover and discussing their theories on why they were suddenly so wasted the night before.

I do agree, however, there seemed to be an excessive amount of cliffhangers in this season finale and It would have been nice for some things to have been wrapped up more completely before new plots were introduced for the next season. I feel the season 2 finale should have been the end of Gerard and the Kanima completely, yet we were left with Gerard appearing to still be alive, wondering if he may even emerge next season as another Kanima.

I suspect the writers wanted to leave themselves as many plot possibilities as possible for season 3 since until now the writers have only needed 12 episodes of material and season 3 is going to be double that with 24 episodes.
