One other question I wondered about is why don't strong food flavors get "trapped" in the oil based pan seasoning? It seems like garlic and other pungent spices would affect subsequent cooked items...but I have no experience with using it.

This does happen, but can be used to great benefit as well. One of my favorite dishes involves a garlic/butter pasta sauce made in a CI frying pan. I don't clean the pan at all, don't even wipe it out, but immediately fry the steak or saute the shrimp and scallops for the meal. A little pepper, and lemon slices at the table. Making my mouth water just thinking about it.
