Both of your examples are exactly what should have happened. Vo read "real", so you hit space and it inserted the word, same for the second example. As I said, only when there are multiple choices will you see multiple options through which you can arrow.
As to sounds, yes, you can mute these in vo preferences. I'm not sure why they would disappear like that, but next time try restarting vo and see if that helps. There is no command to mute them, but you can find the option in the commands menu (vo-h, h, sounds menu). I set up a keyboard commander for it, but that's just me.
