Answer 1

Let's take a step back and look at the big picture:
After you sign, you see your signature on the document page (if you haven't deliberately made it invisible). This is true whether you're using digital signatures with certificates, the EchoSign service, or just a stamp. So since each of these places a signature appearance in the doc, let's look at the differences:
DigSigs: The signature is associated with a certificate that allows for document/signature authenticity, integrity, and verification. The dialog above does not appear.
EchoSign: The signing workflow associates the signature with the authentication information stored online that allows for verifying the signer (among other things). The dialog above does appear.
Rubber stamp/Annotation: It's just a picture. It could be a picture of your signature. The dialog above does not appear.
So I guess the question is: What is the purpose of initiating an EchoSign signature workflow if you are not going to complete it? Why not use a rubber stamp if you only need a signature picture and no verification/validation?
On the other hand, the argument above also suggests that perhaps the dialog should be 1) eliminated (just require the signer to send the doc if online) or 2) improve the dialog text with some more detail. It's also true that there could be workflows where sending to the service later is desirable. I'm fairly sure there is no way to disable the dialog when using an EchoSign sig, but I'll ask if such a feature can be added.
