On the left hand side there is an inspector, you can change the stretch mode there. There are numerous algorithms to choose from. Raw won't set it to the grid, you're right, that is to be expected. And yes a 90bpm beat will play back slower in a 70bpm session, but not super slow. I would double check that it detected the tempo correctly, if it detected it as 180bpm rather than 90 bpm it might slow way down? Look in the inspector under "Audio Event" for the "tempo" and change that to 90bpm if it's not already. You can also manually adjust the stretch the size of a clip by holding Option (alt) and dragging the clip to the size you want. So if it's at 4 bars you and want it at 2 bars, drag and adjust to taste.

And yes you should be able to preview samples in the browser, check the settings on the bottom right and click the little speaker icon, make sure the cue/preview is coming out of the same outputs as your main speaker. It may be going out of headphones or something.
