should have asked them to use the stick on weights just on the inside of the spokes, cos they damage the front of the alloy.

Not on stock wheels. On aftermarket wheels they use stick on weights that can be fitted behind the spokes, but car makers don't tend to do it with thier wheels.

Stick on weights can be unreliable.

The number is the weight, in grams. Cunning.

No, knocking one off is a perfectly normal thing to do and shouldn't cause any side effects (maybe hairy palms and blindness if you do it too much)

Don't think they'll do that, even on the other side they have them on the rim. I had gsi rims before i sold my corsa.
