This is incorrect. If you have no permissions to delete, edit or otherwise interact with an item, you will see no reports on it.
Yes, that is correct. Again without being able to add, edit, or delete items, you would not be able to view reports. Because there is no point at all in being able to view a report if you cannot add, edit, or delete it. Unfortunately there is nothing else we are able to say on this, as what you are reporting is intentional.
