There is no provision to "cancel" a job. You have to
select the job and click
Stop selected job or just click on
Stop all non-device jobs. Since you say the job was still running later I'm guessing you just bailed on viewing the job details. I just tested stopping the selected job and it stopped the job directly.

Yes. Also expecting PDF conversions to end in 5 minutes usually is too optimistic.

I would guess that the jobs were still running in calibre because you didn't stop the jobs or, under certain situations that I couldn't duplicate, the stopping jobs function is broke.
If you wish to ensure worker processes don't overwhelm your system try going to

Job priority from Normal to
