A: This means that the trustee has approved the bankruptcy and that the bankruptcy is near completion. The discussion of abandoned property relates to any property that was not listed on the bankruptcy filings (this is to catch people who "magically" lose property, but then suddenly discover the property right after bankruptcy--i.e. hiding assets). This is a standard warning that is given to all filings. In short, you are at the last steps of a successful bankruptcy filing.

A: It means that the trustee is done administering assets (if any) and that all other property is abandoned and the case will soon be closed.
