Marcus is executed in California. I think that was specified somewhere in the movie, but it was very explicit in the novel.
Marcus wanted to go to SF to find out what had happened to Dr. Kogen who was based there. He mentions to her in his cell that she should have stayed there. I'd imagine that if he donated his body to her special project and then wakes up, not being dead anymore, he might suspect she was involved somehow.
Star probably does sense when machines are coming. The novel again makes this extra-clear as Kyle notes that she can always tell when they're coming. It's also hinted vaguely at the end of the book that Star might not be a perfectly normal human. One of her eyes glints red under bright moonlight.
During the scene where the humans are in the Skynet prison, just before Kyle is snatched by the grabber-arm, the camera pans out and you can see a bank of backlit windows with 3-5 forms silhouetted against them. They are all different sizes and at least one is almost certainly female. They are seen only for a few seconds and there aren't any details, but they're pretty clearly observing the goings on.
Later Skynet's facilities are surprisingly human-friendly with keypads all over the place, touch-screen interfaces, huge monitors for visual display and the information shown is pretty user-friendly with text dialogues and handy menues. Why do computers need that? Why does the Skynet Terminator Factory have stairs, safety rails and other human-friendly things? It was presumably not intended for humans to be running around in there.... OR WAS IT?
Looks like Skynet might not be out to kill all humans. Or Marcus might not be alone in his cyborgness.
There was an early version of the script in which Dr. Kogen was a cyborg like Marcus and was allied with Skynet that was wiped, but all the stuff they left in leaves it open to the possibility that there are still human-type intelligences working there.
There's a novelization of Salvation. It's just called Terminator Salvation by Alan Dean Foster. There's also a prequel novel to Salvation by Timothy Zahn, but it really isnt as good.
