I dislike that when you close finder that the dot is still there.

Of course you can't fully close the finder app because it's basically the system, but then I think when you press the red X button it should get rid of the black dot.

And for my last question. Is the red x button just a slight step up from the minimize button?

From my understanding the minimize button of course minimizes it then the red X button semi closes the application and then command Q fully closes the application.
