  1.  The validator should catch the missing </p> on line 11, but it does not. Please advise.

There is no "missing </p> on line 11".  It is implied, as the <p> element is automatically closed by the <footer> element.  See (e.g.) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/p, under "Tag omission".
