already answered, copy of my previous comment:
Regarding the fourth point: a patch to remove this invalid character (to fix
the leader) at save-time records was developed with the bug 18152; however,
while this bz was pushed master, it introduced a regression (bug 18910) that
required a revert. Indeed, MARC::Record->encoding is initially planned for
marc21 and therefore considers that the absence of this invalid character makes
that it is not encoded in utf8 (even in unimarc). Koha often uses this
erroneous (in UNIMARC) function so, waiting to have a viable alternative, it is
best to keep this invalid character for the moment in Koha
