I don't know why Non-Corporeal is not not on his 2-A profile: Rand literally left his body behind at Shayol'Ghul in order to battle the Dark One.

about these other two I'm not so sure, however I will note them:
Not only Rand endured everything another 2-A trown at him, but he also Power Absorbed and totally overpowered the Dark One (I will CRT the Power Absorption thing):
Rand punched through the blackness there and created a conduit of light and darkness, turning the Dark Ones own essence upon him. Rand felt the Dark One beyond, his immensity. Space, size, time . . . Rand understood how these
things could be irrelevant now.
With a bellow—three Powers coursing through him, blood streaming down his side—the Dragon Reborn raised a hand of power and seized the Dark One through the Bore, like a man reaching through water to grab the prize at the rivers bottom.
The Dark One tried to pull back, but Rands claw was gloved by the True Power. The enemy could not taint saidin again. The Dark One tried to withdraw the True Power from Moridin, but the conduit flowed too freely, too powerfully to shut off now. Even for Shai'tan himself.
[...]
The seals crumbled. The Dark One burst free.
Rand held the Dark One tightly.
Filled with the Power, standing in a column of light, Rand pulled the Dark One into the Pattern. Only here was there time. Only here could the Shadow itself be killed.
The force in his hand, which was at once vast and yet tiny, trembled. Its screams were the sounds of planets grinding together. A pitiful object. Suddenly, Rand felt as if he were holding not one of the primal forces of existence, but a squirming thing from the mud of the sheep pens.

Contextually, I guess the Abstract Existence makes sense. When Rand fully ascended the way his dialogue was written changed to match the Dark One's (no quotation marks, just bold all caps) and off the top of my head I think he had a bit of dialogue talking about how he was hope or light or something to serve as a counter to the DO. I'd have to go back and find it to see exactly what he said.
I don't think Power Absorption is applicable here though. He did it by using Nynaeve/Moiraine, who he was linked to, to seize control of Moridin (who had Callandor) via Callandor's weakness. Callandor explicitly doesn't have a buffer to stop its wielder from drawing too much Power, and its secondary function is to be a True Power sa'angreal. Meaning the Dark One ****** himself over, because by granting Moridin Choedan Kal-level True Power access to begin with, it meant that Rand --> Girls --> Moridin --> Callandor had unlimited control over the True Power. The Power Absorption wasn't something Rand could accomplish on his own.

Saga hasn't had a chance to reply about the Power Absorption yet, so I think the thread should remain open for now.

The only thing I can say is that, since 1) the Dark One could manifest (the term Rand uses) channelers like the dark Nynaeve of the first "future" he showed Rand, 2) Rand had the exact same Creation power as the Dark One, and 3) Callandor is part of his Standard Equipment,-> Rand can replicate the situation and the deed by manifesting saidar channelers.
Tecnically he can also do the same just the other way around: in the Bore Rand held both saidin and saidar by leading the circle, so he could just manifest Callandor should he not have it (he manifested Callandor upon entering the "future" where the Dark One was destroyed).
"I'm not planning to be safe," Rand said. "A circle, please."

Moiraine and Nynaeve fed him their strength, and he accepted it.
