At this point we really don't have enough information about the reboot for me to have an opinion on whether a full reboot is better than a partial reboot. It's all going to come down to execution. Hopefully, The Flash will shed some light on what the rebooted universe will look like.
It's not just you. I'm having the same issue and opened up a support ticket. If I hear anything back before the problem fixes itself via internet magic, I'll let you know.
Flashpoint is the story were Flash goes back in time to save his mother's live, but it ends up changing the world. For example, Bruce Wayne died in the alley and his father became Batman. DC Comics used it as a reboot in the comics which is leading to people assuming the same thing will happen in the movie universe.

Yes, and Marvel owns the trademark to publish a comic called "Captain Marvel" which is why the DC character is usually published under the title of "Shazam". Even though the DC character can be referred to as Captain Marvel inside the book.
