Answer of Q1: It is not cover under tax audit because Freight is not part of Sales Turnover, but it is direct expenses
Answe of Q2: If your sale is local sales then freight must be come before vat on invoice and therefore vat will also be calculated on Freight. Therefore in form 231 not only gross turnover but also net sales @ 12.5% also included freight.

1.Freight incurred by the seller is not the part of turnover(as per meaning of turnover u/s 44AB).
Mr. Sandeep-Freight incurred by the seller is in the nature of carriage outward i.e Indirect Exp. , therefore it will be charged to P/L A/c not as Direct Exp. in TradingA/c.
