No, it just means that when it is rated for 520w, you can be sure that it can handle 520w. Many PSU manufacturer's oversell their PSU's maximum wattage throughput. None undersell. While some...

Yes. For example, some PSU's may say that they are rated for 550w but are only able to handle 500w. There is never a time when a PSU is rated for 550w but can handle 600w.

Yeah, it has been on my list of considerations but I am really looking for a mini or mid-tower micro atx case that can handle a cpu cooler comparable to a hyper 212 or a corsair a50.

This is wrong.
Many manufacturer "undersell" their PSUs so they can pass a certain 80 PLUS certification.

Some like their girl thin.;) Beauty wasn't the issue, it's the stiffness of the cables. You like them stiff, all good. Different stroke for different folks.
