I'd expect that when I paste a new link in the new tweet window the link would be auto minified or I'd have the option to minify… but this doesn't happen.
Am I doing something wrong or is this expected behaviour?
MacOS – Does the Twitter app for OS X support URL minifying

Having looked at the reviews of the app it seems to be a bug so you will have to wait.
You could try its predecessor Tweetie which I think is much better.
In the Notifications section of the Settings app, you can tap the Edit button in the upper right to make handles appear (three thick horizontal lines) on each of the items in Notification Center.
You can drag the items up or down by these handles to re-order them, so just drag the Share Widget item to the top, if that's where you want it, then tap done.

It's the expected behavior. Links are shortened after sending a tweet and only count as 20 characters when composing a tweet.
Twitter has shortened all links automatically with t.co since 2011. Many clients display t.co links with the target URLs, but you'll still be taken to a t.co URL first when opening a link. See Twitter Help Center | FAQs about Twitter's Link Service (http://t.co).
