The OP's queries are about his torrent client, so if no one has any relevant contributions to make to this thread, then don't post, or stick to posting in The Void - where off-topic trolling and flaming are allowed.
Off topic post trashed. /mod.

They are never right, and can never be right as there is no way to ever know how many peers are available in the swarm. As has already been stated, they are just the numbers or average of numbers that are returned to in in response to an announce.

This will only ever happen with active torrents. The number outside the parentheses is the number of peers you are connected to. Regardless of how many are returned when announcing, your client always knows exactly how many it is connected to.

That isn't the same thing. That is a list of the peers you are connected to. A sources tab may or may not exist in your client. I am not familiar with it. But, for example, in Vuze it looks like this: And in this case, I don't have a number in parentheses, because for reasons I haven't really bothered to investigate, Vuze doesn't seem to bother trying to announce to trackers anymore. So I haven't actually seen a number in parentheses in a long time. Which doesn't matter much as DHT has worked every time.
