1) I can't remember but doesn't the green light stay on the whole time when you are reading?
Nope. The light only stays on when you're charging it. It briefly lights up when you turn on the Kindle but will turn itself off again.

Was the Kindle battery flat? That may explain why you couldn't turn it off as it already was off. The indexing process uses significantly more power than normal and if the Kindle overestimated on remaining battery life then it might not have had the chance to display the please charge your Kindle screen.

You should always be able to restart the Kindle if you slide and hold the power button for 20+ seconds.
