Can't say much about any of these, both printing and export with embedded notes is left completely to the system frameworks (i.p. PDFKit), we have no control over how that behaves. So these sound really like PDFKit bugs. (Also I assume that when you say "anchored notes" you mean "text notes"). How printing and exporting behaves also depends on how pages are rotated (the pages and content can be rotated, or just the page size can be landscape, those are different things).
