Yes, I only answered the first of your questions, namely how to get a
syntactically correct input file.
In order to understand the spacing problem, you should first read
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Hiding-staves.html#Hiding-staves
and then realize that exactly the same mechanism is used by default
for lyrics lines (a fact that's probably never mentioned in the
documentation). Therefore, to avoid that the first score line
reserves space for the empty lyrics lines, you should insert
\override Score.RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##t
somewhere at the beginning of your score.
