I don't know the exact answers, but normally, the mount point itself is backed up, but Bacula does not descend into it (that is, with "One FS = Yes"). "Remembering" the bind mount is not done by Bacula, just as normal "mounts" are not remembered by Bacula - if you need those, you pot them in /etc/fstab :-) What happens on Windows is all a big miracle to me, so I can't tell you much regarding that.
