I don't know which download link you are using but I have just verified
and all the canonical names from the download page point to the correct
version, which at this time is 2.5.3:
https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Download
Maybe you have multiple DMG or PKG files with slightly different names?
Also, MacOS is known to do some really weird things when you have
multiple copies of the same application on the same filesystem.
You can see the download link for individual versions by browsing here:

Yes, if you don't want that then use "--pulseaudio=no" instead.

That's a known issue:
https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1933
The changes are not trivial, but I may be able to get something done for
v4.0. Feel free to subscribe to that ticket.
