The answer is No... your account will get flagged and it will end up being a nightmare getting it back up live... We run into that problem when trying to create a business profile, accidentally added the logo to the 'human' + page and it took over 6 weeks to get it back to work.

RE: Is my footer bad? i.e. hurting rankings
I don't see a problem with your Footer - I like it.
I do have, on the other hand a theory, as of why people might not be clicking on it (They don't scroll down enough). But a theory is a theory, so have you tried any Heat Map tool to analyze this - CrazyEgg for example?
On another note... you might consider (This is something I am doing with my own site, or at least I will this week ) to add some no-follow attributes to those links... which ones? The ones that you would in fact consider adding them to (if you think twice about it maybe you should add the attribute to it).
Also you might want to think about having a 'Privacy Policy' and/or 'Term of Use' links there... Those are good signals that you are a legitimate website... not to mention Ad Center will not let you (or at least that's what their policies state) advertise with them if these are not present and/or accessible from your Home Page.
Just my thoughts....

RE: Ranking Differs between SEOmoz and Google Webmaster?
Rankings are no longer fixed but more dynamic than you might think. Geo Location - Glocalization is a big part of the equation, Not to mention whether or not you are logged in to your Google Account or Facebook (this refers more to Bing Obviously).
I would always go by Google Webmaster Tools rankings, however it is my experienced that these results are not as fresh as you might want them to be... I use both, and additionally i might also consider looking at sescout.com.

RE: Will google put logo's in as author snippets?
Sure...
We found out the hard way... when trying to access the public profile it read a message that our account was suspended bue to the guideline infringement .. then it gave us the option to dispute which seemed took forever, so I tried to escalate the problem with our AdWords Account Manager as we wanted to use Google + extension...
I believe their guidelines are pretty explicit and they must run some face recognition software.
I would stick with your picture as you have it, and if company branding is important to you maybe hold a sign or something... although I see you must work for AdServe??? I can tell by the background.

RE: Buying Facebook Likes...
Thanks!!! I am so uncomfortable to sign up to anything that looks too good to be true... and this is one those. You make a great point that I didn’t even consider… and that is a good one “you're decreasing the amount of real fans will see your content” I will keep that in mind.
