What about the salawat before adhaan? Also, do the salawat directly address Rasoolullah

as if he is present and watching?

In Pakistan (and possibly India), some masajid (of the Barelvi persuasion) say, "الصلاة والسلام عليك يا رسول الله الصلاة والسلام عليك يا حبيب الله" (and some variations of this) right before the adhaan loudly over the speakers and then the same is repeated for iqamah. When I was living in Pakistan (in the 90s), I don't recall ever hearing this before any adhaan but when I went back to Pakistan (particularly Karachi) around 2007, that was the first I heard of this.
