Yes, and in regard to the Triarii it's the passage from the phalanx to the more flexible manipular formation.

They are different units, therefore they cannot be upgraded. Upgrading units is hard-coded. Only CA can do that.

Because General's and Officers (centurions and signifiers) haven't been updated with the new models and skins. You must remember that EB 0.74 is a BETA, not a final GOLD release. 0.8 will take care of that. All Roman Generals and officers have been updated for our next internal release.
