the device is instructed to record content you don't explicitly request? Is this an option to be turned off? Or (as I think I saw someone say) the TiVo will nuke content I wanted for content it thinks I want?
Yes, Yes, No.
TiVo will record suggestions, you can turn it off, and a suggestion will never delete or prevent a show you requested from recording.

Actually you can. Just manually tune to the channel. Also, if you set a manual record option for the channel, it will get added to the list.
