>> Why doesn't p2 directly overlay the dots in p1?

ListPlot assumes the x-coordinates (when you don't specify them) are 1, ..., Length@data.

To get the right results, specify the x-coordinates:

data = Table[{x, Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 2*Pi}];
p1 = ListPlot[data, PlotStyle ->
      {Red, PointSize[0.03]}, DisplayFunction ->
      Identity];
p2 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi},
     DisplayFunction -> Identity];
Show[p1, p2, DisplayFunction ->
     $DisplayFunction];

or

data = Table[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi}];
p1 = ListPlot[Transpose[{Range[0, 2*Pi], data}],
     PlotStyle -> {Red, PointSize[0.03]},
     DisplayFunction -> Identity];
p2 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi},
     DisplayFunction -> Identity];
Show[p1, p2, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];

or just

DisplayTogether[Graphics[{PointSize[0.03], Red,
      Table[Point@{x, Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 2*Pi}]}],
    Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi}]];

I don't think ListPlot is very useful, in general.
