Wakabout, I was getting your questions ready to shoot over to FASA
when I realized a couple more could be answered here on the list.

Sure, the card only has the normal skill sleaze requirements listed at
the bottom of the card. There isn't any special card text (i.e. -
Feeding Ghouls or Gut Check) that give an alternate way to sleaze. See
below for more detail.

Thus if the alarm's already going and you hit Hellish Traffic, your
shadowrun is over.

This one came up before and is in our Game Q&A:

Q. Is there a difference between the skill requirement for sleazing a
challenge and alternate choices to "sleaze" as listed in the card text
(i.e. - Gut Check or Feeding Ghouls)? If not then a combination like a
triggered Motion Detectors (or a Red Alert) and then a Gut Check could
effectivley form a dead lock with very few options to get past it.

A. Once Motion Detectors and Red Alert are played, Challenges cannot
be sleazed. However, cards like Feeding Ghouls and Gut Check! are,
indeed, an exception to this. As you point out, not being able to get
past Gut Check! on a successful roll makes no sense (and we are
counting on people to use some common sense in such situations. We
don't want the game to become as convoluted as Magic can be.)

Sleep spell would also work against Objectives defended by Red Alert
and Motion Detectors.
