The second shot of the cop corpses when Rick was getting the guns and about to leave Shane was almost definitely supposed to remind Rick of him and Shane as cops and partners, side-by-side. It was the trigger for Rick deciding to go back for Shane instead of leaving him in the bus.
In the comics, I believe that they established that anyone who dies, regardles of how they died, will become a zombie. I am not sure how they would reconcile that with all of the dead bodies they found in the cars in that pile up on the highway. It didn't look like some of them had any head wounds that would indicate that they were killed zombies. The best example being that dead guy in the car where Carl found that bag o' knvies.

I really feel they specifically pointed out that there were no bites as foreshadowing to the discovery that they are already infected. Of course I could be wrong, the show doesn't follow the book exactly.
Even if people are already infected, it could be that not everyone one is infected, which could explain the people in the cars.
