Yep! You posted. Welcome. What makes you think that it's not turning off?

Hmmm... Have you tried applying the E-Brake and "hammering" it? (i.e. a burnout) I know that even with the traction control disabled (on mine), it will still limit the output to the tires. I am pretty sure this is to prevent damage to the engine/transmission. If you are able to do a burnout, then I would say that the traction control is functioning properly when turned off.

Even with the traction control off, if the car senses that one wheel is spinning faster than the other, it will cut all power and fall flat on its face. It is completely normal and designed to keep something from going "boom!"

Definitely different. My car has mostly performance parts slapped on with just a few cosmetic changes. It takes a while to get used to the FWD power.
