Forgive me for not answering your questions right away, but I must say you sound exactly like the sort of person who would find a place in the Rifts and the Veil project. I am Warden Serra, the project leader.
Proximity side-effects are as you have likely witnessed; the anchor in your hand flares up, alerting you of the need to seal the rift. Those without anchors of course become aware of the nearby demons in short order. The Breach was sealed before we acquired any anchor-bearers or rifters, so that comparison has not been tested. Demons and spirits have achieved corporeal form before, through the summoning and binding of mages. However, until the Breach, their only real means to cross over on their own was through possession. I have been told that the effects are not entirely one-sided; items from the physical side of a rift have been found in the Fade, though it's fair to say that our side deals with the more...active effects. As in, hostile demons.
