It's a non-conformance because the confirmation message is only momentary. SC 2.2.1 requires that the time limit can either be turned off, adjusted, extended or the content is displayed for at least 20 hours. In practice, making the message persistent is the only sensible solution.

Yes there is a dedicated Wishlist and Cart links available in the page even if the popup is gone. Since there is an alternative to access, I guess it wouldn't fail 2.2.2. Correct me if I am wrong.
