I've already completed the bonus quest (killing the boss) on two maps Atoll and Ramparts. On both Channel and Flooded Mine I do have the bonus quest completed:
When I play on Atoll or Ramparts I don't get the boss kill mission, suggesting it has already been completed.
I fully completed the Atoll map three times, once with a bestiary event. What's going wrong here? I'd like to get the benefits from the atlas bonus quest completed.

The small blue dot (at position 1 on your screenshot) indicates that location on the map has a waypoint that you have not activated. As per your second question, entering a region that does have a waypoint without activating it will result in a small blue dot.
The large blue dot (at position 2 on your screenshot) indicates that the location has a waypoint that you have activated.
Whether or not an area has a waypoint will not become apparent until you have entered an area (before entering the area, it will show as an empty dot, as per the other areas on your map). As long as you've discovered the area you will be able to simply use the world map to see if there was/is a waypoint there.
Additionally, the name of the are has an icon next to it if there is a waypoint at that location:
Yes it is. You just have to learn where things are located in each area.
A few examples:
- The entry to Fetid Pool is always located in the north-west of Mud Flats.
- The waypoint in Dark Forest is always somewhere along the road, so just follow it.
- The Crematorium is always located in the north-west of Sarn Slums.
Maybe they are not always in the same location, but they have been every time for me and i think it is fixed for many zone entries and waypoints.

Looking at the map modifiers (only 1% quantity) means you're running a normal version of the map as opposed to magic or rare. You won't complete the bonus objective unless it is done at a certain rarity depending on the tier of the map. To make it magic just use an orb of transmute on any normal map. Maps can be crafted with the same orbs as weapons and armor. If you get map mods that you don't like you can reroll them to get something more desirable.
If you open up the Atlas and hover a map it will show you this box seen below with the bonus objective. In the case of tier 1-5 (white maps) it is completing the map while it is at least a magic rarity. Tier 6-10 (yellow) require completing at least a rare version, and tiers 11-16 (red) require rare corrupted maps. Once done you get the checkmark and the yellow ring you see around your channel and flooded mine.
