Regarding all the ships on Admiral Marcus' desk, they were made by Qmx, a specialty company that makes and markets replicas from Star Trek and Galactica. Here's a report on all the ships on Marcus desk:

Ted, I was thinking all those exact things about Khan while watching the movie. I keep reminding myself that this new writing group probably had a mission which was to keep it simple. They had a mission to please the largest group of people possible. So to make Khan a simple killing machine was what they did.
The Khan we know from TOS would not have been affected by the change in the timeline. He was frozen in the Botany Bay when Nero changed the course of history.
Perhaps when the blu-ray comes out, there will be deleted scenes. But from my single viewing, he seemed more mad at Starfleet for using him to make weapons. I'm trying to read the novelization now to see if Foster was able to inject more of the story into the book. Perhaps there were cut scenes he can place back that helps explain things.
