I just tried taking a screenshot to show off my Endless Halloween Tonic to my friends (<300 ToT bags – lucky me).
I realized however, that the tooltip doesn't appear in the screenshot even though my mouse is hovering over it when the screenshot was taken.
Is there a fix for this?
Level downscaling will downlevel your character to the maximum allowable content level for that area.
So this will affect all your primary stats, Toughness, Vitality, Power and Precision. When you open your hero panel you'll see your main stats on the right in white, and next to them on the left you'll see your 'effective' stats in green. These are the numbers that you're going to be using. As these numbers are changed this will effect your damage, hp, crit chance, etc.
The thing with you feeling more powerful is that you still have the higher level gear. So for example, if you are lv30 you might have an amulet with +11 power. You go to a lv10 area, and fight with players who at lv10 can't even equip an amulet. Now I'm assuming, but let's say that the downscaling is a %, then your overall stats will be higher, meaning you'll be stronger at lower level because of your better gear.
You are by no means at all invincible, but you'll certainly fare a little better due to having more or better gear. The real killer is that as a higher level you will have traits and skills available which lower levels will not. You can also use your Elite skill still, if you've unlocked it. So there are some advantages to revisiting the lower level areas.
I think most people's experiences of this will be doing each of the race's starter areas once they've finished their own.
You can read more on the wiki, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dynamic_level_adjustment
Character level adjustments have a limit, however. The level-adjustment system won’t let a level 1 character go head-to-head against a level 80 character with much chance of victory—a level 80 character is still going to have more bonuses on their gear and access to a full complement of utility and elite skills that players just don’t have at lower levels. This is not to say that the high-level character will one-shot the level 1 player, but they will have a clear advantage.

Since Jan 28th 2013, the downlevelling has changed. https://www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/news/dynamic-leveling-adjustment/
No, if you read the description of the salvage kit, it tells you the percentage chance for it to recover upgrades. The best non-gem-store salvage kit has an 80% chance to recover items in sockets.
Here are all the salvage kits:
Crude - "small chance"
Basic - 20%
Fine - 40%
Journeyman's - 60%
Master's - 80%
Black Lion - 100%
The Black Lion salvage kit can be bought from the gem store for 300 gems, and can also occasionally be found in Black Lion chests.

The only way that I've been able to achieve this is using a secondary program to take the screenshots.
There are three which I use regularly.
Fraps - This one you have to pay for but is pretty good and rather seemless.
Overwolf - A game overlay which is free and will take reasonably good screenshots for you.
Steam - If you create a shortcut to the game in your Steam client, you can then press F12 to take a screenshot, but you'll have to run the game from Steam.
