It did that to me for 10 years in my 20 gallon. Never a problem. While it looks like it all goes, some of it always remains and regrows. Nice photo.

No. That design will siphon equally well.

Your best bet is a check valve...or bring the return in over the top of the tank instead of straight in the bottom. If you did that, you could also...

I've not had any other clam to know how fast they grow. When I got him, I thought that he would outgrow my tank within a year or two. Now, he can grow all he wants.
