First question: how do these two features differ? If feature #1 lets
you specify spacing details immediately after (or before?) a \break or
\pageBreak, then doesn't that give 100% control over vertical spacing
to the user (thereby making feature #2 unnecessary)? Or perhaps #2
adds some additional control above and beyond #1?

#2 and #1 control different vertical spacing elements: #2 controls the space of staves within a system, while #1 controls the space between systems.

Second question: would this feature #3 be any different than making
the contents of breakLayout into a Voice added to any of the existing
Staves in the score? For example:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
        \myRealMusic
        \breakLayout
    >>
    \new Staff \moreMusic
    \new Staff \yetMoreMusic
   ... etc ...
  >>
}

Might this solution work without the need for development? (This is
stolen from Jan's input for Satie's "Petite ouverture à danser".)

Yes, but there is no way to automatically generate \breakLayout from within LilyPond right now. You'd have to do it by hand, or accept that every tweak you do might alter line breaking.
