I'll look into this!

The "Holds to place" does not do anything when placing item specific holds. The
last patch in this series should hide that pulldown when the record-level hold
checkbox is unchecked.

Yes. That is standard Koha behavior.

This is also standard Koha behavior. If you want more accurate hold limits, you
need to add a record level itemtype to each record so that Koha will have a
fallback itemtype to check if the hold is a record level hold and not item
level.

That is also intentional and expected behavior.
