which lens is better for close ups the EF-28-135 or the EF-S 18-135MM

I agree with Robert! The 18-135 is superior to the 28-135 in my opinion. I still own this lens even though I've switched to Nikon. I have the SL1 and the 18-135 is sharp as a tack! It works wonders on close ups as well!

Why the picture is the NON-STM version? Can anyone tell me if it's the wrong picture or wrong title?

You need to speak directly to Amazon as to why they put a product picture with a product title that doesn't match. This is shipped and sold by Amazon...they need to be the ones to answer.

Does this lens carry a complete Canon warranty? Mine came in a white box not the regular Canon box??

Mine did also, but did include the canon warranty card. I was able to register the lens with Canon. If you didn’t find a card I would check with the seller.

Is the front element fixed or does it rotate as it focuses?

Fixed, great for using with polarizers and you dont have to worry about bumping it while its focusing.
