Top right all newish Switch UI have an (non-labeled, sigh....) Logout button:

The utility was the initial only management UI for the Smart Managed Plus switches, earlier models did not have a Web UI. Utility is retained for continuity.

The Smart Managed Plus are in the core non-managed switches allowing some static configuration. The tiny embedded controller and the available Flash does not allow a https implementation.

As above. The core is non-manaed.

While I'm not Netgear, I'd say it's implemented as specified. Don't expect wonders. Smart Managed Plus are light configurable switches available with a per-port price where competitors offer non-managed switches. If you expect more you have to look into the Smart Managed Pro (Smart Web Managed) or Managed Switch lines.
If I had the choice between the ability to restrict the management access to a defined VLAN and getting https Web UI I would opt for the first. However, as I said above, both is out of scope for the current Smart Managed Plus (except of the XS728EM shich is built on a different switch core - here we can configure the management VLAN) models.
PS: Convinced a moderator will pick up and move your thread - don't open a duplicate.
