I generally "walk around" the list of matches with next-error and
previous-error which work in all three types of buffers you are
interested in. I've even mapped those to / and * on my keypad, I use
them so often. You can use those commands in the original buffer,
without jumping to the list of matches.
I hope this helps. It doesn't answer your highlighting question, but I
find I don't need highlighting when I just jump to the right location
every time.
