Well, if you don't consider the machina that were present because of the wedding, then all that's really inside of the cloister and around it is mechanical levers, pulleys, and roll-a-cop mall scooters. That's not hurting anyone, so there's no reason for people to freak out about it (or for Sin to attack, for that matter). Some machina are allowed, as long as it doesn't affect technological development or is only for mass entertainment (e.g., Blitzball stadium gear).
It probably did, but most of them at that point probably knew what it meant, just as Big D said. There was no need to tell everyone else, because even if the Summoners did go back to tell the truth to people, it wouldn't matter. To get to Gagazet and come back would imply some form of mission failure, and from what can be told, if you were good enough to get to Gagazet, you were essentially a dead person. Dead people don't tell tales.
