Answer 1

It is supposed to be in Released status.
The BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job is scheduled to run based upon the event being triggered (from your ABAP program).  The only thing this job does is trigger the event that runs the next process in your process chain.  If you set up the Start variant in your PC to schedule "After Event" and you set the periodic flag, then after the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job finishes, it will reschedule itself.  So, there will always be a BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job in a Released status.
Again, the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job does not run the entire chain.  It only triggers the next processes in your chain.
Does this help?
PS.  Are there any BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER jobs in a Complete status?  If not, then there is an issue with your ABAP program.
