Map Scale
I don't know the exact historical reasons, but I think you are onto the right answer with regards to paper sizes. Printing was much more important back when these were defined than today. And if you compare it to letter size, the aspect ratio matches better, and I am sure as Sue pointed out that having nice round numbers made more sense, so it does look like the numbers where picked to be a good fit for both monitor and paper as the prime concern
Of course, with the modern new map wizard, most templates allow you to pick values at any aspect ratio anyway.

New Overland Map with Alyssa Faden & Friends
Sorry about your job. Hope this situation normalizes soon so people can get back to their jobs, or at least have an easier time finding a new one when not everyone is trying to hunt in the same limited pool.
At least the time isn't wasted when you spend it mapping :)

Floor Disappears
If it only happens when the effects are on, it is probably one of the effects on that sheet that has to large a size.
If you can't spot the guilty one immediately, try disabling the effects on the sheet one by one.
And also make sure your floors are on the sheet you believe they are, you can check this with the Info -> List command.

Contested Kingdom of Halladim
Looking nice, but have you considered some kind of coastline effects on your map, there is a very sudden jump between land and sea, nothing that provides a transition. Often a simple outline or glow is enough.

Sea Contour - doesn't work as told (Tome)
Well, as the Tome itself states in the introduction, it is written for intermediate to advanced users. It does assume some knowledge of the basics of cc3+, and relies on the user having worked through the tutorials in the manual first, and probably worked a bit on their own before diving into the Tome.
Also understand that the tutorial is written for that particular map in mind, it is extremely difficult to figure out all the ways a user may want to do things differente from the tutorial and reference those, that would also make the tutorial extremely bloated. The goal of the tutorial is to teach the user various techniques based on the requirements for that map.
