No, that's called periodic boundary conditions.

No.

You can use whatever visualization software you like, but you should use 
trjconv first to get a consistent, intact representation.

VMD is good for visualizing and some analysis, but it's not going to 
tell you anything about the physical validity of your simulation or the 
methods you used. That's what grompp was warning you about in the first 
place. If the simulation finished, there was likely no problem; the 
warning is intended to tell you that things *may* be unstable with 
Parrinello-Rahman if you are simultaneously generating velocities.

The "broken" molecule is not a problem and will not be magically solved 
by using a different barostat.
