Caveat - my knowledge on this subject is old and may be obsolete. But it 
was correct.

Close.  They complete the current sector (so that a subsequent read 
doesn't cause a messy error due to partially written sector), then do an 
emergency retract of the heads.  This is done so when the disk stops 
spinning and the heads land, they do so in the "landing zone" which is 
an area that is a little rougher than the rest of the disk.  This 
prevents the heads from becoming stuck to the disk surface, a problem 
known as "stiction" without this, when power is restored and the disk 
starts spinning again, the heads would stick to the disk surface and be 
ripped off the arm, essentially destroying the drive.  The rougher 
landing zone area of the disk prevents stiction.

If you want the write operation to complete after a power outage, you 
need a battery backup.

Actually, both a cache and skewing are done.  There are two "levels" of 
skew.  A small skew is used at the end of each track except the last on 
on the cylinder to allow for a small "microseek" to allow the drive to 
compensate for the small differences in track location in each surface. 
A larger skew is used after the last track on each cylinder to allow the 
heads to seek to the next cylinder without, as you say, incurring a full 
rotation delay.
