when the AC was on today it looked like a white powder was coming out of one of the vents when I accelerated. What is this - a cause for alarm?

This is fog, i would say that the A/C drain is a bit blocked and you have excessive moisture in the air bob and on the evaporator, check the drain tube is clear first.
