As a final comment to (1), in one of my recent classes I was paired with a yudansha acting as uke doing some kind of choke hold while grabbing one of my wrists. I'm sure that this technique has a particular name (starting with ushiro?) but that doesn't really matter. Anyway, he held the choke quite hard so that I couldn't react as we had been shown. His point was that I needed to react sooner and that this was also a matter of timing. Most of the other senior students at the dojo have been quite nice about treating me gently, though.
No matter what his point was, if I were you, I will try to practice more often with this Yudansha. I don't like the guys who want to treat me gently and expect me to do the same in return. I think this guy gave you an idea about what would really happen outside. He was just being honest.

Cheers,
