Well, your second problem I can recreate, but am not sure how to fix. As far as the first one, I have a few ideas. One would be to set a condition in the valid that will allow the valid to evaluate to true, such as:

if !empty(this.value)
&& Do your stuff
endif

this way, if the textbox is left empty, nothing in the valid will be evaluated, and the user can exit.

My other thought on that topic is to add a shortcut key to your exit button. For example, if your caption on the button is 'Exit' change it to 'E\
Either way, or both should work for you.
