Regarding the page number problem, you should place "\on-the-fly
#print-page-number-check-first" immediately before "\fromproperty
#'page:page-number-string".
\on-the-fly checks if a condition is true and in that case it prints
the markup that immediately follows: you were applying \on-the-fly
check to \null.
See Notation Reference, section 3.2.2 "Custom headers footers and
titles", subsection "Custom layout for headers and footers" for a more
precise definition of \on-the-fly behaviour and for a list of other
conditions that can be checked.
Best wishes,
Davide
