From my perspective, I would say this is not optimal, and really you should put some effort into finding images that don't interfere too much with the menu. After all, it's meant as a "teaser" since it goes behind the menu. As soon as the background goes darker, it doesn't look "great". Anyway, it wouldnt be a problem, but you would have to use Settings > Custom > Custom CSS:
[class*='menu-a'][class*='topbar']:not(.menu-absolute-default).menu-absolute-50 .nav-wrapper:not(.topbar-sticky-pos) {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
That style definition above is actually a bit stupid, but it has to be that specific so that it doesn't override certain states of the menu (for example on scroll).

You mean your /info/ page which is currently empty? First of all, if you want to show the same images without duplicating them into the /info/ dir, you would go to that panel page settings > gallery > advanced > assets, and assign "index". That means the page will "get" it's gallery images from the index (home page dir) instead. From there on, you would simply need to assign page settings > gallery > select slideshow and intro to achieve the same slideshow-intro as the home page.

Indeed it's used more of an indicator, and that seems to be the way browsers are moving towards also. I don't really imagine anyone in 2020 without trackpad (all laptops + many desktops) or touchscreen-scroll (all mobile devices), or mouse without wheel (or built-in touch-scroll on mouse surface). I would be really surprised if anyone actually scrolls pages by dragging the scrollbar these days ... I'm sure there are a few odd exceptions, but the design is geared towards removing the distracting and space-consuming scrollbars. It can be overriden by CSS if important!
