Another one is if beings with Dark Vision and those with the Dark Vision spell on can actually see light sources.
For Dungeon Fantasy I'd say yes and yes. After all the whole point of both magical light sources and those alternate vision modes is to let you ignore details of lighting levels.

For a setting that cared more about physics, it's a harder call - ideally you'd need the emission spectrum of the lights, the absorption spectra of the things they might be shining on, and the frequency response curves of the IR detector to answer the question about infravision, and a lot more information about how Dark Vision even works before you'd allow it into the same game as one that cared about that sort of thing.
