Backtesting will not stop in case if Equity goes bellow zero. Probably we will change this behavior in the future. You can post this idea to vote.spotware.com.

In cAlgo 1.23 we added Extremum points to the Equity line.

We plan to release cAlgo 1.23 next week, however it is already available on Spotware environment:

Unfortunately, we cannot reproduce this issue. If it is possible please specify the exact scenario.

Yes, we plot equity extremums only when position closed. We will consider your idea.
