Two excellent observations.
I too have had to stop what I am doing to make sure the Pearl if properly seated in the rubberized case holster.
Because the phone properly fits only one way into the holster, to where it is firmly seated, I am always looking down at it to make sure it is in right. I don't like having to do that.
I don't know that there is a fix for this because it does fit well as designed. A mod to make it easier to holster the phone will result in it not being firmly locked in place.
As to the phone popping out of the holster, I have not had that happen although I have had the entire thing pop off my belts [holster and phone]. But that has happened to all my cases and holsters albeit the Seidio holster seems to have a better grip on the belt than others.
My fix for that is to have a camera lanyard with a clip that attaches to my belt. This has prevented the phone from falling to the ground when the thing decides to do a gravity test.
Bottom line: I don't know that there are any fixes to these issues. If they made the holster hold the phone firmer then it's going to be even harder to insert the Pearl into it. Besides, if properly seated it seems to take quite a bit of force to make the phone pop out of the holster, at least IMHO.
One thing you might try is to figure out in what position the holster is best to prevent the phone from popping out. For me I discovered it was only when bending in certain ways that caused the holster to pop off [such as getting into a car].
I experimented and determined that the best position for the Seidio holster was sideways [horizontal] and off to the side of the waist [as close to my P226R as possible].
