dear ram,
PDB files (usually) don't contain any connectivity information.
whatever VMD displays as bonds is based on a (crude?) heuristic
guess and that may or may not be correct for your system at hand.
VMD has _no_ real knowledge of chemistry.
if you want to see the proper connectivity you'll have to (first)
load a matching _topology_ file (with recent amber this is file
type parm7). then you should see exactly the bonds, that amber uses
in its calculations.

no, this is simply a problem of you not giving VMD the full information.
cheers,
