Just noticed that the windshield sort of floats meaning no surrounding molding beyond the very botton. Can I assume this is normal as I dont have another Ranger to compare with.

Yup. Also let's sand and junk build up in the lower corners and cause rust/corrosion.

Do a search on Ford Motor Company assembly --- and you will see that the windshield frame is spread with Chauk by a robot, and then a robot installs the glass. So, you hope that the first robot does its job correctly.
