A pea size drop seems a bit big, but I do not think the side pushing up a bit will cause any issues. The springs on that heatsink will squish out air for you. The thermal paste will also thin out with heat to flow better(in a good way) and most break in a bit.
You are good.

Your temps will tell you. As long as it is not oozing out the sides 
I have seen many pre built systems with HUGE gobs on the cpu's without overheating.

Anything under 60c at full load should be good to go.
All cpus are a bit different and I do not have that cpu to test myself.
