add an override like so:
\override Stem.stemlet-length = 2
(or whatever value you prefer)

You have to replace the "\default" with your \markup {}.

This happens because the lower staff is smaller, so the double bar lines
are closer together. I'm not sure how to fix this off the top of my head.

The end of one system and the beginning of another represent the same
moment in time, so you can only specify one barline (you have tried to
specify two with a \break between them, which will not work). You need to
use a barline that specifies both: \bar ".|:-||" should do what you want.

I don't have much advice here. You already use some functions and
repeat-unfold to simplify things (although you could use more of the unfold
- for a whole system for example - bar checks are not necessary). I would
probably have placed the layout requirements ( \break, \bar, and so on) in
a global variable with spacer rests, which might have made it easier to
write the bulk of the score with repeat-unfold.
