1. We're seeing a future. WE are seeing some things he's not - i.e. the conversations Moore has with other agents, etc. Unless I missed something, none of that ever becomes something he acts upon in the movie - if it did, that'd be a flaw. We can assume though that pretty much everything that happens to Biel's character he could see.
2. For all we know, he could remain hidden on the roof since he knows she blows up there, and basically see everything he sees. We see it as him standing there and seeing it, but in reality he's probably going to the roof in a future and seeing it from a different vantage point while being hidden. I could see how that could be confusing to viewers though - we assume we're seeing exactly what he's DOING in the future.
3. Moore being an FBI agent that's probably had to deal with a lot of fleeing suspects, she probably understands what his likely option is if he's going to run at that point. He says "I already did" because he simply had already done it in futures he's seen (and of course we find out later he can pretty accurately see a looong time into the future when with Biel, so he may have seen how that whole attempted escape was going to play out, and merely had it play out to save Moore's life so he could be seen as more benevolent than just an *beep* that can see into the future and not be treated like a pure criminal.
Rule of thumb once we see the ending of the film is that everything from the time he wakes up in bed with Biel until the bomb goes off is exactly what he wanted to happen (including him "almost" drinking the drugged drink). The bomb going off was the only "mistake" he made in THAT future, but of course we know he can see potentially an infinite amount of futures.
Thus when talking to Moore at the end (the only ACTUAL time he talks to Moore throughout the whole movie - that phone call and talk in person with her), we can assume he knows where the bomb is, how to go about disabling it and how to kill or apprehend all the terrorists and all he basically needs to do is direct the whole thing like we saw him direct saving Biel in the future we saw.
