I think it is in the last RC so already fixed (see #3098 for bug, a timing issue). That was itself caused by an earlier fix to an issue some situations would make a tooltip flicker on/off.
I don't think you put the red dot in the right place. I think actually it should be overlapping the bottom of the thumbnail a bit, and the centre of your dot doesn't represent the mouse cursors pinpoint, but the dot represents the mouse cursor as a whole, and the pinpoint is actually the top-left of the circle. So with both these corrections, the tooltip is showing when you hover the image.
It's just it's being erratic due to the #3098 timing issue. It's working fine for me on the latest RC for any point on the thumbnail.
As for the title, I can reproduce that on the latest RC, but it's expected due to nested tooltips. In the latest RC it is harder to reproduce, but if you move the mouse off the thumbnail then back within 0.1s, it will block the tooltip just showed and show the other deeper one. That's reasonable behaviour I think as that tooltip is an automatic effect of the 'title' attribute on the image.
(Modal refers to an input dialog that blocks what is behind it, e.g. an overlay or an alert, 'tooltip' is the correct term here)
I think you must have some plugin or unusual system setting.

This is not trivial to reproduce...
You need to disable flow mode.
You need to have thumbnails wider than they are tall.
You need to move in the mouse from *below* or *above* moving towards the image (not from the side).
The display difference on IE is an IE bug. It's not meant to stretch like that. If you want to have a different thumbnail arrangement you need to edit the sizes in the CSS (galleries.css). I see you're using wide-screen images as thumbnails, that's atypical.
