In that case, you'll need to make the files you're working with available offline before working with them on InDesign or other 3rd party apps.
When it comes to the 3rd issue you mentioned, note that this can be sometimes solved by refreshing your Finder or rebooting your computer.
If you happen to have 3rd party apps running on your computer that could be monitoring your files though, you might also want to have a look at this discussion too.
I hope this helps, Lars.
