You can use this to your advantage and lure them to one tanky Tech Priest and AoE them all down, or lure them away from an injured Tech-Priest by shooting them with another. Once you figure it out you can control their movement very easily.

Any other wonky UI related stuff I should be aware of to your knowledge?

The only time I've ever seen them attack another unit is if the target they are aggro'd to is unreachable. For example they are down a narrow path you blocked with other units. Otherwise they will still go for the unit even if they can't reach it that turn. Even if they take an opportunity attack they will not change aggro and continue after the chosen target.

You can see a lot of stuff from the Noosphere view (hold spacebar). If you use an AoE taunt move such as the level 2+ Servitor or a Spotlight you can see a pulsing red circle that shows you the aggro range.

Also try holding the space bar when selecting a mission. Something special might happen. :)

Yea I heard about the special mission thing when looking up info on the xpac/dlc thingy

Maybe you'd know the answer to this; when starting a new game, should I enable the.. heretik dlc or no? .. Im maybe 1/3rd through the game but I started with it off because I wasn't sure.

Well the game is based on replayability. So you could finish your current game and then go back through again with Heretek turned on. I'm not sure if enabling the DLC mid game will hurt/change the game. You could back up your saves to be safe.
