In my false awakenings, I basically wake up in my bedroom. It's either dark and I can only see very faint outlines of stuff and the red text of my digital alarm clock, or it's relatively dark and my bed is in a different place in the room. As for mobility, I've never experienced issues with moving around, but I did have a slight trouble getting out of bed once I realized I was dreaming (I knew because the atmosphere of the room was off).
If you have issues with getting around, KNOW that whatever you want to happen, will happen. It's all about expectations. Imagine that you're weightless if you can't get out of bed or move. Or, use expectations to summon a dream character that will pull you out of bed.
In real life SP, you can sometimes mould the hypagogic imagery, but it's best to let it be and allow it to form a dream around you... Getting too focused on the imagery can slow down or stop the dream formation. If you have SP in a dream, well, it's just a dream so you can control it. Anything's possible in a dream, after all.
You don't always see stuff though. Your eyes can be closed and it can be dark, but you may only experience tactile or auditory hallucinations, including the feeling that someone is sitting on your, or hearing whispers.
As for "fake" SP - yes, you can have it in a dream too! It's happened to me a few times. In my own experiences, this SP was more intense and frightening than my SP in waking life (I've felt a blade along my arm, screaming in my ears and stuff), but it's different for everyone so I wouldn't worry. Only once was I actually lucid, and in that case, the SP wasn't that bad. The worse episodes were when I didn't get a lot of sleep that night, or had drank too much caffiene. In the lucid, I'd just WILDed but I was stuck because of the SP, so I simply commanded the dream to "stop messing around". I then got up, flew away, then woke up a few minutes later. 
If you feel like you're moving your real body in the dream, stop and focus on your surroundings - touch some objects, smell the air, look around. Don't think about yourself lying in bed, or what you're going to do when you wake up. Keep yourself in the dream.
