By chance I found a possible, but not very satisfying, solution to the
\setupinterlinspace issue when trying to print labels using
\setuparranging[XY]. That is to explicitly set
\setupbodyfont[rm,18pt]\setupinterlinespace
once again outside the \framed directive for the specific label as in the
following MWE.
I haven't seen any answers on my other two questions from the original
post (included down below), so if anyone has any ideas, I would be most
grateful.
MWE:
\definepapersize
[Label]
[width=4in,height=3.33in]
\setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait]
\setuppaper
[topspace=0.4688in,
backspace=0.1875in,
dx=0.1875in,
dy=0in,
nx=2,
ny=3]
\setuplayout
[topspace=0in,
backspace=0in,
margin=0in,
width=4in,
height=3.33in,
header=0in,
footer=0in]
\setuparranging[XY]
\setupframedtexts
[width=\textwidth,
height=\textheight,
alignment=center,
frame=off,
location=lohi,
alignment=center,
offset=0pt]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\definelayer
[Label]
[width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[schola]
\setupbodyfont[rm,48pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]
\showframe
\starttext
\the\baselineskip\page
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{Label
1}\page
\the\baselineskip\page
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{\definedfont[Serif
at 18pt]\setupinterlinespace \the\baselineskip\crlf A long description label
that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page
Label 2\page
\setupbodyfont[rm,18pt]
\setupinterlinespace
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{
\the\baselineskip\crlf Another long description label that needs to be have its
interline spacing adjusted.}\page
Label 3\page
Label 4\page
Label 5\page
Label 6\page
Label 7\page
Label 8\page
\stoptext
