To the question:

<< 2)  Do the holes along the bottom of the rear hatch serve any
venting or draining purpose? Or can I fill them with Great Stuff as part
of my noise insulation project? >>

And you raise a waterhorse inside your rear hatch if you seal those drain
holes under the bottom edge.
You'll likely start an iron oxide farm in there as well. Pretty soon your
rear hatch will look like fine lace at the
bottom. Drain, drain, drain. That's what they're for.
