1) Why would that be weird? If it was an iron golem holding the weapon, the weapon heats up and the golem is healed by the heat 'damage,' because that is a property of iron golems. Welcome to magic.
Yes, but that's heat working exactly like heat always does. The heat not affecting the Helmed Horror because of spell immunity means similar heat from any other source than Heat Metal still affects them. Which is kind of weird - that makes the heat part of the spell, rather than the result.
Which is no different than the heat from a wall of fire being treated differently from the heat from some other heat source. Or the heat from a non-magical fire being treated as different from a magical one.
It is a specific immunity.
It's not usually this specific - in this case it's literally only the heat from Heat Metal. Not quite the same as heat from magical sources vs heat from non-magical ones.

Well then their Longsword could be targetted by Heat Metal I guess.
