I think the B&W phots were just early lo-res ones requiring little bandwidth. Better phots are to come I think.
The sky crane supposedly dropped curiosity and then blasted up and away to get away from it. I imagine it was a use+dispose piece of kit like The Eagle in Apollo.
JPL website no doubt has all the details?
