I have never seen either of these happen.
Doesn't anyone believe in Orbital Defense Pods but me? Not to mention the power and mining stations - build enough of these and you can run away with the game.
And as for HQs - I've seen factions paralyzed with inefficiency from losing their HQ. I've never seen them build a new one.

Yeah the AI can produce orbital stations like Defense Pods.
I agree that the AI never rebuilds a HQ.It makes it diffucult for the AI.This should be fixed.

Also, the AI moves HQ sometimes, if they have a HQ and want to move it. The AI just stops building HQ's after the loss of the only HQ.

AI does rebuild HQ, I see it many times at the thinker level. Miriam and Santiago seem to be the exception. I have seen Deirdre rebuild HQ 2 turns after I capture her old one. I do notice on lower levels of difficulty the AI doesn't seem to rebiuld HQ.
