Default Minor Problems

I have a few questions and I wont make different threads for each one.

97 A4 104,000 miles Bone Stock except Borla Catback

1. I just got a brand new Climate Control unit but when I hit A/C the orange light just blinks a few times and turns off. I notice it doesnt blow cold do I just need a recharge?

2. Sometimes when I get on the car hard the orange security light on the dash comes on. But earlier this evening I was on the highway doing 70 and there is a nice S curve thats a recommended 45. I just cruised through at 70 no where near the cars limits but pushing it a little and the security light came on and there was a strong smell like a burnt clutch that went away shortly after.

3. When I turn the car off the motor shakes a little and rocks the car for maybe 2 seconds. My old 99 Taurus did that, my 2001 Alero DD did that, 93 Jaguar did that ,but my Mustang Lightning and never did that. Is this normal for these cars?
