The official "Stars and Bars" had 13 stars, with one star each for MO and KY.
Although these states never formally seceded, the CSA included them via acts of the confederate congress in late 1861.

Yep.
The Flag Act of 1865 describes the flag in the following language: The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That the flag of the Confederate States shall be as follows: The width two-thirds of its length, with the union (now used as the battle flag) to be in width three-fifths of the width of the flag, and so proportioned as to leave the length of the field on the side of the union twice the width of the field below it; to have the ground red and a broad blue saltire thereon, bordered with white and emblazoned with mullets or five pointed stars, corresponding in number to that of the Confederate States; the field to be white, except the outer half from the union to be a red bar extending the width of the flag.

Yes it had stars for them, assuming you are referring to the Confederate BATTLE flag. The Confederate flag was actually the bonnie blue banner, which is a white tilted star on a dark blue field. If you look closely, its the part of the Texas flag encompassing the left side.

Yes, but those two states were prevented from seceding by the presence of federal troops.
Two other slave states (Maryland and Delaware) did not secede.
The 13 stars stand for South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia, Texas, Missouri, and Kentucky.

According to the Flags of the Confederacy website, the Second National Flag, "The Stainless Banner", had thirteen stars, one for each of the eleven Confederate states and one each for Missouri and Kentucky. (Alternately interpreted as 13 stars for each of the original colonies.)

These two were sneaky--they didn't officially secede from the Union, but they sent representatives to the Confederate government, too.

It could be, but the two stars could have been added in for symetrical purposes to make the flag more aesthetically pleasing.
