Yes, I think Salazar encountered Jack twice. The first time Jack probably broke his leg, and the second time Salazar followed Jack into the Triangle. He must have had some personal reason to follow an enemy vessel into a haunted place and risk eternal damnation. As for the ship, well, even the black sails can become grey if they are used for too long.

Salazar does have a walking stick. You can see it here (remember when we thought Salazar was holding two swords), and here, held by Lieutenant Lesaro (the guy with the eye patch). As you noticed, he doesn't need it anymore, but maybe he's keeping it because he wants to chop off Jack's head and put it on a stick.

Well, someone has to give us headaches.
