1. I'm a little confused by what you have wrote. The stylus tool button setting temporarily switches the tool if you draw while the button is pressed, but then it immediately switches back to the previous tool once you pull the stylus up. It does not switch tools and leave it switched. I just tested this on my Surface Pro 4 and it works exactly as I've described. For example, if the stylus button tool is set to stamp, I can hold the button, place a stamp and when I release, it switches back to the pen tool.
2. A layer will always be active, so if there is only one layer, that one will be selected, otherwise it defaults to making the first layer active. If there is no layer visible, the application does present a warning now (a bubble pops up at the bottom of the screen). The annotation is still created though - I was torn on whether to allow the annotation or not in this scenario. I do not persist what the last active layer was when the application was closed. I can certainly consider saving that if it's really important to users, but it seems to be simple enough to switch the active layer in the layers window especially as you can switch the active layer for all pages at once.
