I don't believe you receive a message if you discover a mine while claiming an area (someone correct me if I am wrong). However, you can always check the Land/Build > Mines tab to see your current mines (and any new ones).
As far as unbuildable zones you've claimed, you can make them buildable through DP usage (though a waste of DP), setup picket forces to slow the advance of attackers, setup hidden havens for your 'Mech forces, or just unclaim them (assuming the zones are at least 5 squares away from the nearest developed buildable zone.

you will be told if one is found. If for some reason you think you might have one and didn't get a message you can check the Land>mines page then click on the button to show inactive mines.

Nope, not at all. Most people have about 3 or 4 unbuildable zone for every zone that they can build in. Fewer than those are usually used for actual cities.
Actually on second thought you could consider there to be a very slight negitive effect, but this isn't huge. It slightly drives up the cost of your administration because it both makes your population per zone go down slightly (raising upkeep costs some) and gives you another zone to pay for. However you can usually use the zone for buffer against an attack by placing a stealth tower in it as well.

That is no longer correct. You can unclaim anything, as long as it's no actual city, and as long as there are no units present.

Correct. After LW-ing, before unclaiming, better first check for possible mines in the conquered/claimed zones. Found 2 combustibles like that so far. And that was when combustibles still rated at 16k/apiece (now below BE to produce them). Think of findinf a REE mine like hat (drool)

Rather to blow up, then.

You do not get a message if you claim a zone with a mine, you only get a message if a new one is found in zones you already own. You siply need to check the Mines section of the Land/Build Page for inactive mines.
