 * Badniks are in the show. Motobugs, Crab Bots which look like Crabmeat badniks and Bee Bots which look like Buzz Bombers.
 * No but the ancients have been mentioned, such as the episode Sleeping Giant where Amy explains the Granifier Giganticus are from the Ancients era. Also in some scenes in the TV show, you'll noticed props from Rise of Lyric. I'm sure I've seen a fox statue from the games in the cartoon more than once.
 * As for as Dr. Eggman is aware of, Metal Sonic defected to Lyrics side. and as far as he and Team Sonic are aware he is still scrap at Slowpoke Isle. We know Metal Sonic reactivated himself after the game but it was never specified what he did afterwards. We can pressume he never returned to Dr. Eggman which explains his absence during the cartoon series or Dr. Eggman simply has no further need for him and put him in storage.
