Re: Catalyst in rate law?
You can have catalysts present in the Rate Law, but you can't have intermediates because they only exist for an instant and therefore don't affect the rate, but must instead be substituted using the steady state approximation (Not for the final) or the pre-equilibrium approach.

Re: ln k and 1/t
The profile is lnk vs. 1/T when referring to the graph of the Arrhenius Equation, with slope =-Ea/R. the graph for lnk vs. T would not be linear, so we would view that as incorrect, but the graph ln[A] vs. T would be linear with slope -k.
