That is an interesting find. I wonder, was the ADR done again for Scotty's line after Khan's attack? Was his

Exactly. In that first view of the opposing ship, there's no roll in evidence yet, not against the starfield background. When we see the ship up close, she's rolling against that background; also, some of the "stars" are moving against each other, as with all TOS spaceflight and TFS warp flight, and indeed Khan only gives the command to slow down to half impulse after this shot. Subsequently, the Reliant isn't seen rolling and the stars aren't shown dancing the "warp" dance. So the VFX editing seems to be spot on, be it by design or accident.

No. Kirk is heard over the intercom.
I dunno about this claim about engines being looped. One draft of the script, which includes deleted scenes, mentions the "energizer" four times, e.g.

^The claim is that it was looped in the scene where Kirk came onto the bridge to order the course change, not that it was done throughout the entire film. It stands to reason that they would've looped Kirk's line using a term that was already being used in other scenes (and that was used before in "The Alternative Factor" and "The Doomsday Machine").
