The show isn't about where the aliens come from. The aliens are a metaphor for the foriegners who have come into Japan.
The importance of NieA's vanishing is how it effects the main character.
The class system is based on the class system of India... again, adding to the metaphor of the aliens being representative of the foriegners who have come into Japan. The Under 7s would be similar to the "Untouchables" in India's culture.
Karna may like Gendo, but we know that Gendo will never have anything to do with Karna. As much as I like Karna, her role in the show is not that important. She just helps paint the picture of alien culture.
While the story has important things to say about the characters, it is also a metaphor for Japan as a nation.
There's a lot going on in the show.
No... to my knowledge there is no plan for a second season.
