This is my best estimate of how to answer your questions.  Arguments
welcome.

1.  The female leader informed Kirk that she "beamed up" with him on their
    transporter, "a terribly slow process" or words to that effect.  After
    boarding, they simply modified it as necessary to work at their speed.

2.  The phaser had not been modified as the transporter had.

3.  The connotation I have about the "cell damage" was that a scratch, an 
    actual open wound, was what did you in; not just the rubbing of hands, etc.

4.  Why no "burn marks?"  Well, being able to see the shots coming (from
   their perspective, very slowly) they could simply block them.  No hit,
   no burn marks.

5.  The antidote was useless to the Scalosians was, if I inferred correctly
    ineffective on Scalosian people.  I assume their scientists had already
    devised a similar one, which failed.

    Oh, well, just some thoughts...
