What about lead? I started with lead and iron and I get the occasional offer of 100ks to trade with people, although it seems someone has dropped a trade with me without telling me or something.

Lead is generally considered one of the worst unless you going to war a lot since it's direct benefits are all military related. It too suffers an environment penalty and it's not needed for the most desired bonus resources (it's only used for microchips and scholars). Iron on the other hand is one of the best and hence why you might have received the offers.
On the loss of a trade, if you received absolutely no notice, not even that the trade was cancelled (there is an automatic message send to the other nation if you cancel a trade), then the nation was deleted either for inactivity or some ingame infraction of the rules. There is no notice given when a nation is deleted. I periodically look at the nations I trade with just to see if one may soon be deleted for inactivity so that I have some warning (spoken by someone who has lost two trades to inactive nations in a three day stretch).
