The swingarm mounts to the engine to maintain belt tension but can induce a yawing feeling sometimes in corners as the engine and swingarm move together. It can feel weird at first but when you get used to it you tend to ignore it and ride through it.
Yes and they became rubber mounted long before the XR came out.
I rode a friends 883R and the engine felt far more viby than the XR, which was super smooth by comparison.
