58K range for Africa went current in July for DV2013 (narrowly missed June). So, based on that - you can anticipate interview around June/July 2014 with your 2NL being around April/May.
At the interview there are many questions that can be asked. They may try and establish what your financial position is to be sure that you won't become a public charge. If your profession/demeanour or whatever is such that they don't think you'll have a problem supporting yourself they may not even ask the questions about money. However, if they do ask, you should be ready to satisfy them that you have the means to support yourself in the USA. For many people that means showing a bank statement (with money in the account!!!), but there are other ways to prove your financial position. It's up to you how to satisfy them but you only get the one shot to satisfy them....
No the photos being sent separately (assuming they were properly identified with your case number etc) won't affect your case. Wait a few weeks before checking - you have plenty of time to wait....
