It's a bit weird that they can't even avoid this when it comes to images; GPT shouldn't really be obeying instructions from images at all! I wonder if it's just OCRing images and concatenating that into the prompt...

It's much more sophisticated than just OCR. The model was trained on images and text at the same time - it isn't processing images in a separate step.

The GPT-4 paper has a bunch more about this.

Not really, I suppose; it's just a different type of prompt. The algorithm does not "know" what it is fed. Data is data.
