That is because some options are mutually exclusive. To enable that option, you need to to set conversion mode option to null (the option is at the very bottom). The plugin follows the Windows GUI of the original program in this respect.

The plugin function is to pass the option to the k2pdfopt program. Anything the program does or does not after this is out of the scope of the plugin.

Cannot comment on this unless I test the pdf file with the same options you chose. The main thing I would be looking for is to make sure that the plugin is passing the options to the k2pdfopt binary correctly.

If there is anything related to the original program, you can ask in the k2pdfopt thread, but I recommend you first consult the k2pdfopt help page before posting there.
