This is intentional.
All staves, except those inside PianoStaff contexts, are spaced individually.
The space between two PianoStaff staves is always the same; this has to do
with the \change command.
If you really want the same distance between every two staves, you can tweak
your contexts to do this. (look at engraver-init.ly to see how PianoStaff
does it)

Do you mean the text should be "(8va)" instead of "8va"?
I'm not familiar with that parenthesized notation; do you have any scans of
well-engraved scores which do it?

The best way to file bug reports, is to send one message for each bug, where a
minimal example, which demonstrates the problem, is presented. "Minimal"
usually means <= 2 bars; I checked (3) above using the following example:
{
#(set-octavation 1) % begin 8va bracket
c1 \break c1
#(set-octavation 0) % end 8va bracket
}
