Kissing is just touching, isn't it? If you can pat someone on the shoulder, you can kiss. We don't know all the details about tongues and whatnot, but I don't think we really need to know. As for tears, who says they're real tears? Plenty of games have "emotes". The game just needs to recognize "they're crying now" and turn on the sadface. It's no different from yelling or smiling.

And lastly, what he hell happened to Kirito's hand? Did it just grow back after he was healed or something?
If you look at his health bar in the scene shortly after, you can see that "missing a hand" is actually a status effect he has. It's probably curable in any number of ways. Might even just run out over time.
