1) chaotic nexus gives 10% more crit but doesn't give any armor penetration
In a small test I did, the Armor Penetration bonus was not working for me on Preview. Meaning that, regardless of how it works on Live at the moment, it will be like this when M5 goes to Live if it is not fixed. The Nexus Armor Penetration bonus does not appear in the character sheet, and did not appear to affect the 'Effectiveness' indicator in ACT which is where changes in Armor Penetration would be apparent.
All of the other bonuses have a visual tell that they are working:
Growth visibly heals you
Nexus 30% Critical Chance buff shows in the character sheet
Fury 30% Damage buff is obvious from damage comparisons without and without it being active
Fury 10% Lifesteal buff shows in the character sheet

I don't know about Chaos magic on live, but hopefully it is WAI when the expansion launches on Tuesday.

The Lifesteal bonus is working properly on Preview -- it is visible in your character sheet during Fury.
