Full Disclosure: I am an original C&C, Red Alert 1, and Generals player. Always loved the franchise. Back in the day when C&C, Total Annilhilation, and Warcraft series were commanding the RTS scene...

1: Honestly this sounds more like a bug than anything else. I haven't really noticed any units that consistently do it.
2. I've beat lots of people who had things like higher level infantry. Obviously sometimes you will get completely out-classed but that's just the nature of this style of mobile game. The same thing happens in games like clash royale.

4. Sounds like you have an issue with mobile games in general tbh
