It looks like a lot of material was ejected in that strike.

The visible rays just mean it’s a recent impact. They disappear over time, not due to erosion but other impacts. With no atmosphere, micro meteors occur frequently all over the surface.

Yes. As you can see the object that impacted broke into three pieces that left very distinct trails. Tycho is relatively ‘’young’’ in that it was formed about 108 million years ago.
