Yes, we have agnostic and gnostic atheists. These are the terms you describe I think. To assume all atheists are gnostic atheists is a false assumption. Please see my website for much more details

Alternatively you can have strong atheists who believe there is no God, rather than also claiming there is no God. Again, not true by default.
There is no requirement or expectation for atheists to not believe in the supernatural. That is a rule you're making up. What do you even mean they expect it? That's their problem, atheism isn't a club where you need membership permission.
A certain group of atheists may decide they expect it, but atheists in general have no rules. You are conflating scepticism and atheism. If you mean sceptics, say sceptics.
It's better to just ask someone what they believe than tell them or assume it.
