interesting question - what would happen if like... half was covered? lol water's gonna flow into the uncovered side and get "cleaned" maybe?

They use shade balls as is. I haven't looked into it recently, but shading the water isn't new so we should have some idea.

Yes, flowing water is less likely to contain bacteria I believe. So might work!
