Yes. Shrink (or grow) the ones adjacent to an edge first.

If you have a copy of Emacs 19 or 20 around you will notice that other
windows did shrink too. The "shrink only the adjacent window" behavior
you mention was introduced together with `adjust-window-trailing-edge'.
But this function is not very suitable for the minibuffer.

You need a "normal" frame with a minibuffer for this.

Partially. Most of them were the results of attempting to fix errors.
But I have to admit that I never understood the old code completely so I
couldn't even tell what has changed and how.

There should have been more testing before the release. But I wasn't
very good at advertising my branch then.
