Since you have set textStyle="finger", which gives a font that only
includes the numbers 0-9. You should never need to specify the
"finger" textStyle explicitly, since it's chosen automatically for
fingerings, for example when you write c^2.

The patch included below makes this customizable. You could then set
the distance between the dynamics and the closest note or note line 
using the property Voice.dynamicPadding. (I don't have the right 
computer here to be able to compile Lilypond, so I haven't tried the 
patch myself, but hopefully it should work)

Set the property Voice.textScriptPadding to add the distance.

Probably since you add one in guitartwo and one in bass_fingerings.

Yes, some more intelligence is needed in the algorithm which decides the
positioning.
