Rather than the Facing section [ITL 106], see Missile Weapons [ITL 115]: "Missile weapons never get a bonus for the target’s facing."

I assume a thrown weapon counts as a "missile" too, not just arrows and bolts…?

… In a non-combat (or pre-combat) situation, you can aim at the person standing facing the other way for two turns and get a +2. That seems more like the appropriate amount of advantage for shooting someone in the back, to me.

That seems like a 'Careful Aiming' kinda thing, which ought to apply regardless of facing, so long as the target's not moving. (A soldier standing guard, for example, and you need to pick him off before approaching the gate.)
