The signature selection algorithm is tied to Sup's multiple account
support: the signature file Sup uses is based on the From: address you
select. You can get the simpler mutt-style behavior by specifying
:edit_signature: true in config.yaml, which always takes the signature
of the default account and dumps it into the editor, or you can now
specify more complicated behavior now with the signature hook.

There were patches submitted by I think Christian Lee a while ago, but
they never made it into the svn, mostly because I was waiting for
multiple account support to stabilize a bit. Which it now pretty much
has.

Sup stores its sent mail in ~/.sup/sent.mbox by default. I'm not opposed
to making that filename configurable, but the quickest fix might be just
to make that a symlink to the actual destination file.

Yeah, Sup doesn't sync back any state changes to the original sources.
The Sup philosophy has been to treat the sources as dumb, which means
Sup doesn't play well with others. I won't turn aside patches which do
sync back (partial) message state to the sources, but I'm not planning
on implementing that stuff myself.
