Answer 1

When you draw it, is it in the correct place?

I believe that the multiplication order is reversed, and that you shouldn't be transforming by the players position in the transform.

// shift centre to (0,0)
sprite.Transform = Matrix.Translation(-textureSize.Width / 2, -textureSize.Height / 2, 0);

// rotate about (0,0)
sprite.Transform *= Matrix.RotationZ(_angle); 


sprite.Draw(playerTexture, textureSize, Vector3.Zero,
            new Vector3(_playerPos.X, _playerPos.Y, 0), Color.White);

Edit

You could also use the Matrix.Transformation method to get the matrix in one step.
