The other weird one is a 1-point safety that can be awarded on a try. I have never heard of a 1-point safety until I put stripes on.

The Canadian game has a way to score 1 point. It's called the rouge and it happens when the ball goes dead in your possession while you're in your endzone, if the ball was kicked into the EZ by Team A.
How does the US gmae score 1 point?

8.3.3 SITUATION: During a try, a fumble by A1 is nearly at rest on the 3-yard line when a muff by B1 is judged to be a new force causing the ball to go into B's end zone where B2 recovers and: (a) downs the ball in the end zone; or (b) advances to his 10-yard line. RULING: The try ends and the ball becomes dead when B2 recovers. In any ordinary down, such a dead ball in the end zone would be a safety, therefore, one point is scored for A in both (a) and (b). B cannot score during a try down. (4-2-2i; 8-1; 8-5-2b)
