So Superman wouldn't recognize the exact same feeling being in Krypton's atmosphere had on him?  Lex wouldn't know either, btw.  And unless Zod brought some w/ him, or the World Machine made some, we're still stuck wondering how exactly shards of Krypton made it to earth w/in 20-30 years of Superman landing here.   AND if the World Machine created shards, it's actually more likely than not that Superman would notice the effects, given he probably helped in the cleanup.  Right?

The effect might weaken him, but it may not make him feel the same exact same way as the atmosphere did in MoS. The bleeding and problem to breathe, for example, are most likely not going to be among the effects it has on him.

As for the rest of your questions, nothing tells us the rocks arrived later. 

It wouldn't have to, anything resembling what happened to him on that ship would very likely make him perk up and pay attention, would it not?  Come on.  Superman is not an idiot. 

Nothing tells us how the rocks got there period, so right now it's all guesswork.  I was merely thinking about Krypton's location and since they nicely laid out where it is for me, I started thinking about the math involved here, and unless it was actually brought to Earth from Krypton (or possibly the remnants of an earlier asteroid impact w/ Krypton from thousands of years ago??? maybe??) there's no way shards of Krypton could make it to Earth, this quickly.  

Which brings back the World Engine theory, but, we know Superman was probably integral in cleanup and rescue efforts after the incident, it's extremely likely he'd notice the lingering effects, right?  So, no matter how you flip this, it's not like Superman shouldn't have advanced warning.
