Sorry forgot to answer your first question.

The sources are mostly taken from already quite trusted sources and can be
verified by PGP signatures. You can also read the sources and since they get
compiled on your computer, you know that what you read is what you get.
Also, other people can read the sources and give reviews and you will know
that those reviews actually correspond to what is running on your system.
