Note: For this list only the creators of the characters first appearances are listed. As with all comic book characters, Superman and his supporting cast have had several reinventions and different contributions from different writers. Theses include different iterations in different mediums that all have added different concepts to the overall mythology of the characters.
Obviously theirs Clark Jerome Kent/Superman/Kal-El of Krypton, called Clark Kent or Superman on screen. He made his first appearance in the comic story "Superman, Champion of the Oppressed" from Action Comics #1 (June 1938) by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster. Fun fact his middle name Jerome is named after writer Jerry Siegel's full forename.
Lois Joanne Lane, called just Lois Lane on screen. She made his first appearance in the comic story "Superman, Champion of the Oppressed" from Action Comics #1 (June 1938) by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster. Fun fact her middle name Joanne is named after Joanne Siegel wife of Jerry Siegel who the two met when she modelled for artist's Joe Shuster's drawing for the characters of Lois herself.
Perry White, who was created for the radio serial The Adventures of Superman, voiced by actor Julian Noa. He appeared in the second episode, "Clark Kent, Reporter", which aired on February 14, 1940. He transitioned into the comic books later that year, appearing in the comic story "The Three Kingpins of Crime" from Superman #7 (November 1940). He was created by radio writer George Putnam Ludlam.
James Bartholomew "Jimmy" Olsen, who first appeared as an unnamed "office boy" with a bow tie in a brief appearance in the comic story "Superman's Phony Manager" from Action Comics #6 (November 1938). Whilst the character was first introduced with his name Jimmy Olsen in the radio show The Adventures of Superman on April 15, 1940 in the episode "Donelli's Protection Racket", mainly "so the Man of Steel would have someone to talk to". With Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster creating and drawing the physical appearance and giving him a bigger personality, the character moved from the radio show back into the comics in 1941, first appearing as a named character in the story "Superman versus The Archer" in Superman #13 (November-December 1941). But after a handful of appearances, he disappeared again. In late 1953, Jack Larson played the character on the Adventures of Superman television show where he was referred to as "Jim Olsen", the character was revived in the Superman comics after a 10-year absence and then given his own title.
Lana Lang, who first appeared in the comic story "The Girl in Superboy's Life!" from Superboy #10 (October 1950) and was created by writer Bill Finger and artist John Sikela.
All other characters were created by the films writers.

Whether or not Clark & Jimmy's trip to Smallville would be a business expense is not explained in the film, that is, in light of the fact that Clark mentions he's doing a story on his high school reunion.
However, if they'd flown directly to Smallville (if such a small place has an airport to begin with) then Clark wouldn't have been on hand to stop the chemical fire they encounter. On a plane, it would've been much more difficult for Clark to suddenly leave (he'd probably detect the fire somehow, say super-smell or his super-vision) the plane w/out anyone noticing.
Also, Jimmy & Clark might have flown to a major city near Smallville first & then boarded a bus from the airport to Smallville itself.
In Superman IV, the new owner, David Warfield asks Clark why there were no travel expenses for him and he responds that he gets airsick which I assume he has said before since you never actually see "Clark" fly.

Not really. When Gus gets the composition readings from the satellite's scan of a kryptonite meteorite, there's an element that doesn't correspond to anything in Earth's periodic table of elements & therefore couldn't be reproduced in the lab. So Gus, probably thinking he'd be scolded by Webster, entered "tar" as the unknown compound. When the completed compound was given to Gus after being manufactured in the lab, it turned out to be "fake" kryptonite which didn't have the total effect on Superman they'd intended. Instead of killing him it altered his personality -- probably the reason why he didn't seem to recognize it when Gus gave it to him in Smallville, it started to alter his personality immediately. However, the effect did have it's benefits, allowing Webster to begin his plan to control the United States' oil supply.
As well, although this is not true Kryptonite, its effects are similar to that of Red Kryptonite. Red Kryptonite has numerous different effects on Superman. At times, in the comics and in the CW show Smallville, Red Kryptonite has altered Superman's personality in numerous ways.

It is either a continuity issue, or a different power, which it could be as we never see the actual beam going from his eyes.
Also, Zod only had his powers for a brief time, he may have only had control to send concentrated beams of heat that were easily deflected. Superman had much more experience and control over his powers, at the bar he was angry and almost showing off by melting the mirror. In the bar, it looked more like big round heat waves hitting the mirror instead of the typical red laser beams.
