In AX just like DE smooth is faster. You will see the best drivers taking a line that allows them to be smooth rather then a line that requires abrupt actions. In autocross to find the fast line you have more liberties then on the track where the pavement limits where you can be to start a turn. But the bottom line in learning to feel the car is SEAT TIME. The more time you spend in the drivers seat in a closed circuit environment the more you learn to feel with the seat of your pants. Grab every opportunity you can get.
As far as rain is concerned I do not like driving on the track in heavy rain. But when the track is just wet with little standing water I do go out on R compounds and although the speed is reduced it is a lot of fun to find the edge of grip and correct the cars attitude.
