A lot of the language we're trying to block is written in comments rather than any of the main article pages and so doesn't get the warnings from either of the editors. I'm pretty sure comments are a Wikia only tool, right? Most, if not all extensions by Mediawiki developers can be seen in http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Version. Their links will generally point to Mediawiki website, and (most) all extensions by wikia likely point to their github repository. VisualEditor is kind of special because it was co-developed by Wikia & WMF.

I've never used abusefilter so I'm not sure, but the article comments are actually accessible and editable using the MW API, and they actually work almost like regular articles so abusefilter probably triggers for them as well. To answer your last question, it seems to have developed by wikia, although it may be used by others because they can freely copy the code from the repository.
