Yes, one taps on "Highlight" and grabs the highlighted selection again and extends or contracts the highlight in the direction wanted (just as one has to do anywhere on the page if one takes one finger off, or if without taking ones finger off one wants to change the direction of extending a highlight).

I couldn't comment on that matter at all as I was not part of the software team, so I do not know what design and implementation constraints existed upon their software development. For myself, and I know for a others I know, the current implementation is not a problem once one, like most things (especially those involving swipes, gestures, etc.), understands it.

It only reappears if one takes ones finger off the screen so don't take your finger off until you have made the correct selection. If one does accidently take ones finger off one can just tap "Highlight" and grab the already made selection and extend or contract as described above.
As you say, and as far as I have found, in a single grab of a word or series of words one can only extend in one direction, but this applies no matter where one is on the page, not just the bottom. The solution is as above, tap "highlight", etc.
