almost everything in the infobox is a link. so you can click on cyclone 
and then you will see the information that you suggested. (although this 
still has to be inserted).

yes, the libraries are also categories. at the bottom of the page is 
always a link to the category, that will give you an overview of all 
objects of a library.

if an object is deprecated it still will have its own page. but of 
course you can add a link to the "right object", but that has to be done 
manually. for objects from different libraries but with the same name 
there will be disambiguation pages that will link to all the objects.
