Well, they are from the Happy Holidays pack which is shipped with the game in some cases, but if you dont have it then we can rule that out.
Not that I know of. Ghosts can haunt objects and if they had died by drowning they can flood the lot. I think ghosts emit particles in TS3, not TS2, so I cant think of ghosts doing this.
With Pets, Sims can spawn a food box to feed womrats , cats, dogs or birds. This drops a pet food effect and can sometimes cause it to get stuck on Sims' hands. It's kind of earthy coloured, I dont know if this could be it because you said it was like a party balloon.
Could you send a screenshot of the back of the house? I'll see if there are any other objects that cause colourful particles.

Having a bird on the lot can seem to trigger a visual bug where the food "confetti" from the cage and/or sim when they interact with it. Not sure if it was patched out at some point, though - haven't checked if it still happens in UC (my old game was maybe a bit iffy on the patching, as in I can't remember if I did it...).
There's a neighborhood deco item effect that has some popping effects, but I'm not sure if it shows on lot view (check if there's a blue effect box near the house in NH view.
Pretty sure the party effects come with the holiday packs, and I don't think they throw off any particles on their own without sims interacting with them. There's fireworks (cone-shaped, small?) and a sparkler (in a box with some other things), but you'll have to put the items out for sims to interact with them.
Sims also do some party popper things when there's a birthay celebration (I think? Been a while since I did birthday parties...) but you'd know about that.
Balloons are the only things I can think of that do random popping with confetti on a lot, but you'd see the remains of the balloon.

Is there a way to load up a household without clicking on the lot, via console or something?

Is there a way to stop a career (specifically, a custom one) from appearing during the job search on the newspaper or the computer?

This happens to me as well, but I cant remember if patch notes mention it. I'll try to recreate it once again. I think it's continuous(?), it isnt just for one second.
@Bulbizarre the load lot cheat does that. See this post: Loadlot Cheat

Cross-posting in here: Is it safe to age down an adult who has received the extra wants slots from the Bat-box upgrading a pre-University Sim to teen? My teen party house needs more family friends for a promotion to afford to party, I don't want to risk not making that friend requirement before work when playing them, and I'd feel horribly wrong trying to have my self-insert befriend kids half my age.

I think there was a mod that fixed that, not a patch. Can't think of one, though. But yes, it's definitely the bird cage and stuck VFX, it's the first thing that popped in my mind when I read confetti on unpause! It also happens when I zoom in quickly from afar.
