Indeed. Which makes GURPS Rapid Fire rules a simplification, as Rapid Fire bonus is to be applied regardless of the distance. Generally I'm totally OK with that, but in this discussion it's good to mention limited helpfulness of full-auto in reality.

Yes. Which, in the case of M14, effectively equals to reducing Rapid Fire bonus by 1, as it has RoF 12 (-1+2=1).
