Answer 1

I am not an expert in perfect coding but I think the validator would prefer something like that

switch ($foo) {   
    case 1:
      $ret =  1;   
      break;
    case 2:
      $ret = 2;
      break;   
   default:
       $ret = 3

}
return $ret

I think using return in case statement to break the flow of the code is not really a best practice. So that's why the validator say there is no break ...

For your question about at category, I don't know ... sorry
