The size of objects seem to change as one changes the thickness of their outline - seems odd to me - it makes aligning things a bit 'hit and miss' if you then go back and edit them later. Admittedly, Xara had a similar (but not identical) issue - it's the one and only area where I think Illustrator is superior.
That is a configurable behavior. There's a button for it on the toolbar when the Selection tool is being used.
I think the original poster was referring to a different thing - including of stroke into bbox, which we incidentally are discussing right now. It looks more and more evident to me that something needs to be done about that (although I personally have no problem with the current behavior, and curiously I don't remember any complaints on this matter until very recently).
