They are created to hold the content of the file to be replaced during the
data transfer.  The names are chosen to minimize the change of naming
comflicts.  This is rsync's default behavior.

Hard to say without more information.  Exactly what is the failing rsync
command line?  What is the destination file system format?  Are you
running the same version of rsync on both sides of the transfer?

Different platforms have different rules for timestamp granularity.  This
may or many not be contributing to this issue.
