... and also in EasiWriter and it has been there for ages. Select the
first row, then Structure => Table => Column head.

Yes, nice feature, isn't it? ;-)

I am not sure what you mean by that. Do you simply want to cut and
paste a range of cells? Then, yes, you can do that already. All you
need to make sure is that you highlight the target range of cells
before pasting (and the target range needs to have the same dimensions
as your copied range).

This is actually a bug. The cell border should only disappear when you
select the "Paragraph". In contrast, when you select all of the text
by dragging over it, you end up with "Text selection", which should
not include the paragraph and its attributes itself. There are many
oddities in table handling. Maybe I will be able to attend to tables
one day.
