Tolkien addressed this in the text. 1) Angrist broke, and 2) when Angrist broke, a spark landed on Morgoth and he was about to wake up. And add to that that those Silmarilli were probably pretty heavy on the Black-Enemy's head, and he would have noticed if Beren took all that weight off.
The rest of the questions I cannot answer, since I've just finished Silm for my first time.
