You will not hear any hissing and the leaks may make only the tiniest bubbles, slowly and very hard to see. It doesn't take much of a hole to give you a wet arm or chest. I'm speaking from personal experience here.

Those valves still reverse flow if you run them squeezed.
Next dive ill put a bit more air in the suit, and close the deflator a click or two and see what that does.

Closing a few clicks wont matter, its a matter of how much air you are carrying in the suit. You shouldnt feel any squeeze

Make sure the valves are attaché TIGHT or they will leak. 30lbs seems heavy to me for that gear and your size. My roommate is exact same and dives about 26-28lbs
