After the van:
They never escaped, but were instead picked up and put in various places around the world by the Program, not sure why. As Ulrich said, it was an illusion of free will. Remember, there were cameras still watching the groups: Erika and Moira, Bill and Charlie (out in the desert of all places!), Joe was placed back in the town to monitor the next group, and Graham was taken to the White Room to be turned.
Tori as the new hotel manager showed that they (the Program) could take anyone and turn them. With Graham being “back in the group”, I can only assume that Graham was now the group’s Joe, their controller.
As for why Ulrich became part of the Program after being killed:
He mentioned his Level 1 involved him burning down the town and killing everyone. That is when he became part of the Program. Joe killed him was Joe “joining” the Program, that was part of his (Joe’s) programming/initiation.
Renbe (Janet’s ex) finding the key:
He was a smart guy, an investigative reporter. I’m pretty sure he was just smart enough to find it. My question is why Kat was not placed in a town. Instead she was placed in some kind of camp with cages, with (supposedly) other people from the Program. With that fact, and the fact that their rental car had a camera hidden in the dash, and other little clues here and there, I am pretty sure that Kat was part of the Program all along.
From what Joe said about killed Ulrich (shooting him three times), and Ulrich’s own admission to killing his group, I think that people don’t really die from their experience in the town. Although, judging by the way the original night manager got messed up, accidents happen. Also, if their own people cross them, the Program won’t hesitate to remove them, like Ulrich’s head.
I’m not sure exactly why the show was cancelled. After looking at some of the details, the show never found a stable audience. It was moved twice, and changed timeslots once or twice. Sometimes channels (namely Fox and NBC) move shows around when the ratings aren’t doing well. Instead of helping the show, they confuse the audience they did have, and place the show on at a random time or day. In this case, the ratings were low enough to finish a season, but not enough to return. Apparently a show’s ratings need to be extremely low to get yanked before the season is up.
When you’re in a bad mood, just think about a monkey.

I never thought about that possibility with Kat being in The Program one way or another. Those Program must be super smart if she was in it and placed working alongside Renbe (aka Janet's ex). Makes me wonder that if this is true, then were Renbe and Janet 'magically' put together (married and having a child) just so they both would be put in The Program?
Because if Kat was in The Program, then what was her task? Keep Renbe away or interested in where Janet vanished off to?
So many questions. lol.

I thought Kat was in the program for most of the episodes. She just seemed so suspicious. I became unsure when she was fired from the company she worked at, but she still seemed suspicious after that. When her and Renbe were in that rental camera and being watched, it felt like she knew they were being watched.
