pgAdmin provides some basic functionality around autosuggestion and
autocompletion but as you noticed, it's not as perfect as expected.
I don't think pgAdmin is going to be improved in this area. I suggest to
check other solutions. Personally I can recommend SQL Assistant we use
in our company (paid software). It's quite nice tool which hooks to
other apps (pgAdmin, notepad+ and more) adding powerful features
including autocompletion. Recently they provide simple SQL Editor
(pgadmin like) based on SA core. SA supports not only postgresql but a
lot of other DBMS. Unfortunately it's Windows only due to nature of its
core: it hooks to app windows extending it's functionality.
Of course there are also stand alone apps, like EMS SQL Manager and more.

Speaking about checking functions during compilation, it's not fault of
pgAdmin. it's postgresql feature (not welcomed though). Only functions
written in SQL language can be fully checked during compilation while
for plpgsql checking is limited. If you want to perform deeper
verification of plpgsql functions you might be interested in
plpgsql_check extension

with regards
