Ok, I think I solved problem 1 for 90%

You have chosen to use a slur to join the two low "a"s.
Here are some comments on what remains unsolved (10%?):
A
In the upper staff this slur "looks" like a tie; it goes horizontally.
But in the lower staff it is obviously not a tie; it climbs up and over.
B
In midi output you will hear the attack at the start of the second "a".
C
These two "a"s are separated by an eighth (during the first <gis b>).
Did you rather want them to abut?
A 100% solution (?):
Lilypond does in fact let you tie the two low "a"s in this particular case.
Reread the documentation for ties, looking for "tieWaitForNote".
This can be applied as follows:
a,8~<a, cis'>4.
\set tieWaitForNote = ##t a,4 ~ <gis b>8 ~ <a, gis b>4
\set tieWaitForNote = ##f a,
- the slur has been removed
- the curve in the lower staff is now horizontal (because it is a true tie)
- the gap of an eighth is bridged.
Cheers,
Robin
