I believe someone mentioned a type drive that is similar to warp drive which involves bending space. There is also folding space, tearing space, jump drives (More of the Wing Commander kind then the BSG kind), and the list goes on and on. Who knows what they use just yet or what the energy field is that surrounds the ship when it is in FTL. Its probably similar to warp drive which would allow for the alien shuttle to break the FTL Field and fly away like it did in Air Part 3.
As for the Timeline .... If you take things 'characters' in the show say literally and as instant fact, you will always be disappointed. Too many times in too many shows what a character says at one point ends up being wrong. Humans misspeak, make mistakes, and draw conclusions without all the proper information.
The fact so many people are taking what Rush said completely literally is going to lead them to disappointment down the road. If you take him literally, when he is corrected or when he does eventually revise what he said (Maybe another character on the show will point it out and he'll go "It was a figure of speech!!" - I added the exclamation points cause that's how Rush would probably sounds. hehe) then the people who take him literally will cry foul, and come on here and make a ton more threads about how much the show sucks cause the writers got it wrong, etc etc.
Honestly, I think they did this on purpose as a tool to get people to watch longer to see if there is a correct answer given. If this was the reason, I have one thing to say to the writers ... well played sirs.
