What happened in the manga has no bearing on what happened in the anime.

I suggest you re-watch the first and last episode of season 4 because the scenes don't seem to match the way you think. For one thing Heliso is standing there talking to them, and no one else is around. Even if it is the same park it is not the same time.

Or there was no time bubble since there is no evidence for one, and Uranus and Neptune just didn't know or care about Nehellenia until it was to late.

In the manga, Saturn also has visions, quite a few of them, leading to her awakening as Sailor Saturn and telling Haruka and Michiru that the Inners were in trouble and they needed to go help them. Visions seem to be a part of her powers, just as they are a part of Rei's and Michiru's.
It's also anime Pluto's power to put visions in peoples heads, and has done so with intent to control and manipulate people on screen.

A couple of teenage celebrities deciding to try their hands at raising a baby would be a bit scandalous, but with Pluto living with them as adult supervision they would have been able to get away with it. I don't recall for certain that Pluto was living with them at this time, but I don't feel like looking up the relevant pages of the manga.
There would be a lot of people who would want to adopt a health baby girl, and the key word here is teenagers.
Then the baby disappears without a trance, and there is a 10 year old who appeared out of nowhere, and goes to school, and no one bats an eye. It's worse then Chibi-Usa going to school, and no one wondering where she came from.

Those are fanfics. There are fanfics that have Usagi as a Slaanesh cultist.

His father is still in denial about it, even though the boy is now in his teens and so obvious that it took only one sentence out of his mouth to confirm my assessment of his younger self). There are a lot more people who don't discover that they are homosexual until puberty, however.
Chibi-Usa as of season 2 is something like 10 years old physically, and that's plenty old to be attracted to someone ever if the body is not read, and seasons 2 and 4 has some very odd scenes if Chibi-Usa is not interested in guys.
Hotaru is physically older then Chibi-Usa, almost as tall as Usagi, and has clearly entered puberty some time before she appears in season 3. She is likely in her teens during the series since the "accident" happened when she was 9. I'd suggest you take a look at season 3 specifically episode 117 where the opening has has what looks like Hotaru fantasizing about a hunky track and field star. The episode would seem really strange to me if Hotaru is not into guys.
