cdART is not required to use Artist Slideshow. While AS can use local artwork, it is designed to download and cache artist images from a few online sources. If you haven't yet, take a look at the AS wiki page (link in my signature). Could you post a couple of screenshots of where it works and where it doesn't. I suspect those questions are going to be best asked in the Aeon Nox support thread, but at least I can help you figure out what they're actually called.

So, for instance, if I am listening to a Tori Amos' album whilst I am looking at the info pane of the album 'Thriller', all the similar artists I get are those related to Tori Amos and not to Michael Jackson, even though I am within Thriller's information pane.
Is this something expected, a known issue of which a fix is on its way, or neither of them?
Artist Slideshow only grabs and makes available information for the currently playing artist. So what you are describing is the expected behavior.
The thing to keep in mind is that, technically, Artist Slideshow doesn't display anything. It really just populates some shared variables that skin developers can use to show things however they want. Given your description, I'm pretty sure you aren't using the default Confluence skin (with the modifications). You might check to see if your skin has a support thread and see if the skin developers have any suggestions.
