Does the total distance include routing me back to the start city?
No, the trips scheduled are not roundtrips.

Can the Router return every possible trip ?
Currently due to the volume of possible trips, not every trip is presented.

and visit the same cities in the same order. This situation mostly occur when there are down dates in a trip.
