On unix at least (linux and aix) there was mount / umount of a floppy, which should always be done before removing it from the slot. Linux couldn't force you though, but it was good practice.

Depends, you could mount it with the sync option. This would make all writes happen right away. Not recommended on FAT formated flash devices btw, as it will cause massive amounts of writes to the table.
