Those screws need to be swapped out ASAP.

Get familiar with strap toggles (also called snap toggles, zip toggles and Togglers). You can just push them in at the existing holes in the plaster (take the wood off first, and use the same holes in the wood)

Only the lathe, not the studs? If they’re in the studs they’re fine. Only the lathe worries me less; I thought they were only in drywall
