Slylando mentions in conversation that probe uses missiles in combat and lightings for raw material decomposition. However it uses lighting always, even if you choose attack instead of converse.

It is because of the properties in it's programming.
Reproduction is set to 999.
When you attack it, it will defend with missiles, but as Reproduction has a priority of 999 which overrides defending, it will try to mine your ship...
Not a hole in the plot....

Yes it is explained and it makes sense. In fact it is one of the clues to unraveling the mistery of the probes malfunction.

If this doesn't sum it up, then you'll have to talk to the slylandro yourself.
Probe: WE COME IN PEACE. Zelnick: Die!!!!!! *pow pow* Probe: UNDER HOSTILE FIRE. NEW BEHAVIOR DICTATED. ENABLING DEFENSIVE PROCEDURES. PRIORITY OVER-RIDE. NEW BEHAVIOR DICTATED. MUST BREAK TARGET INTO COMPONENT MATERIALS.

Not when you make a setting "999".
