contents This paper addresses the topic of equidistribution and recurrence for polynomial sequences over function fields. The main focus is to note and correct two small errors in [V. Bergelson and A. Leibman, A Weyl-type equidistribution theorem in finite characteristic, Adv. Math. 289 (2016) 928-950], contextualized within the broader developing literature on number theory and additive combinatorics in function fields. Connected with the resolution of these issues, we also prove new results characterizing intersective polynomials in finite characteristic in terms of various algebraic, combinatorial, and dynamical properties.
