Yes, there are other files, files that have nothing to do with the installer(I've tried installing to a folder with other things already present or adding files post install, but both way end up with the same result) that are getting deleted when I run an uninstall. Any file that is within the folder I designate as my install directory or within any of the underlying folders is gone upon uninstall.
The other problem isn't a big deal, I can work around that, I just included it in case it was symptomatic of the other problem.

MSI doesn't log when it removes empty folders (as far as I can tell) but it does log each file deletion.
