Hi, Interpolation is done by linear interpolation. With quads, QGIS uses a triangulation to interpolate values between vertices. There aren't other interpolation methods for now. But indeed it could be good to add another interpolation method for quads because the actual interpolation creates bias. Note that for rendering, it is possible to change the sample method to "Neighbor average" that leads to render faces with the average value of its vertices, but that does not change the value returned by Identify Results.
For this other question, it is not possible to get the values of the nearest vertex when extracting values from location in a points layer, indeed, it could also be a nice feature. Maybe a workaround could be to extract vertices as a vector layer, then using vector layer algs to do what you want.
