"Anakin NO!" As if that would stop him.......

If Qui Gon appeared to Anakin the way Obi Wan did to Luke, meesa thinks it would be a good way to scare him straight back to the right path. Unless Qui Gon didn't want to prevent the Jedi massacre, which isn't explained by Lucas in any manner, leaving yet another huge plothole in the weak PT.

It was Qui-Gon. Yoda knew it was Qui-Gon. But Qui-Gon was dead, had become one with the Force! One could not retain consciousness and sense of self in that state; one could not speak from beyond the grave.
But Yoda had heard the ghostly call... the Jedi Master knew that he had not been mistaken....
That disembodied familiar voice hung profoundly in Yoda's thoughts. For if it was true, if he had heard what he was sure he had heard...

The ambiguity far from being clever grows more annoying when one considers the basic plot points in these turkeys.

I've seen AOTC several times, and I've still never heard the "Anakin no!" part.

Its in the scene when Yoda is meditating, most likely after Anakin goes to town with the Sandpeople. You hear Qui Gon say "Anakin!". Much like the sandperson yelp on Mustafar when Obi Wan is confronting Vader before the start of the duel, its there if you listen. I'd give you a marker as to how far in to the film it is, but I refuse to buy the PT pn DVD.

And why can Yoda only sense that Anakin is in pain regarding the killings but he cannot work out that 30 other women and children Tusken’s were also in a lot of pain?

Very punny.

The reason that Obi-wan and Yoda can appear as Force ghosts is that they train themselves for twenty years using the techniques that Qui-Gon teaches them.
The reason that Qui-Gon cannot do this is because he had no training in the art of appearing after death -- he does, however, manage the incredible feat of retaining his identity after merging with the Force and continue on as a voice with a faint connection to the material plane. We can presume that this is because QGJ embodies the principles of the Force and understands its workings far better than the Jedi Council members.
Qui-Gon's apparently mystical achievement is not quite as contrived as it appears on first glance. It fits in well with the Eastern notions that a man's state of mind is the most important consideration and that the moment of death is one in which perfect enlightenment can occur (cf. The Tibetan Book of the Dead).
Yoda does become wiser by the time we see him in Empire. The "fascination with flashlights" is an act he is using to test Luke.

"And the Evil that was vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent and Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth. The skies will rain fire. The seas shall become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked! And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!" - Mephisto
Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.
