AAD Users able to list ALL AAD users , groups with all properties
This has always been the case, anyone with access to your tenant could use PowerShell to list objects and their data. You can restrict it to an extent via:
Set-MsolCompanySettings -UsersPermissionToReadOtherUsersEnabled $false
For the case of the Azure (RM) portal, the AAD blade is still new (in preview), so you can expect this to change once it reaches GA.
Thank you that's true, but I don't expect "regular" user to use PS to obtain info. I would assume these settings are disabled by default for at lease user roles .. as well as adding new App Registrations.

Agreed, by they're aren't disabled, so if you want to beef up security you'll have to manually turn them on.

It is the same as your OnPrem AD - by default the whole directory is available as read-only to any authenticated user.
If you are not concerned about average users using Powershell, then I'd suggest you also not worry about average users using the admin portal and finding the right blade. Both are equally easy to do - but also equally unlikely for a standard user to stumble across.
