1 would depend on wether the cartridge or the glitch itself is the artifact. If it's the glitch, and the game is otherwise unremarkable, then transferring the glitch would likely transfer the effects, if it were able to be moved at all.

With 2, I think it goes on a case-by-case thing. The sands may have been collected as a memento then artifacted, or collected as soon as the sand became an artifact and the energy wasn't able to disperse like the rest of the sand. I'd leave that up to you, but it could go either way. With a similar artifact, Narcissus' Pond Water, I included stipulations on how the artifact could spread and be recontained.

For your last issue, I'll admit to being stumped. I've pondered for ages on how entire buildings could be collected without anyone noticing and so far come up short. You're right in that the prison wasn't collected because it could be neutralized, so presumably if another building had a similar solution it would make sense to use it. I don't think ordering an evacuation would be difficult for the Secret Service if they needed to, but that still leaves the collection issue.
