This is expected and desired.

This is a bug though, setting the migration speed should, based on the
fact that  we want to use the global migration speed flag for disks too
, apply also to the disk migration streams.
File a bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2095093

This is again expected, the blockjobs are started by the migration thus
when you cancel the migration we also need to cancel the blockjobs.

This is okay, but we could take it a sa feature request to allow tuning
of the individual blockjobs.
Assuming that tuning the individual blockjobs is supported, it is hard to tell the bandwidth got from
virDomainMigrateGetMaxSpeed is the speed of  VM migration or the speed of blockjob.
In contrast to virDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed, the bandwidth is aimed for both bandwidths.

I am not sure if there is such a user case: the VM migration data is transported via sub-netA while
the block is transported via sub-netB. Then it may require to set different bandwidth for different sub-nets.
If all the data is transported via the same net interface, just  keep it as it is now.

BWT, what is the meaning of  "sa feature"?

This is expected. Same as above, we dodn't want to allow users to
control this. In contrast to 'q4' I'd refuse a RFE to allow cancelling
of individual jobs.
