There several answers to these questions:
1/ The default parameters used by the latex classes for widow/orphans
might not be the right ones. What I've seen advised is:
\widowpenalty=10000
\clubpenalty=10000
\raggedbottom
[this should go in the preamble]
2/ If you set explicit vertical paragraph spaces, you should ensure
that they contain enough elasticity. The default Medskip et al do have
elasticity, '2em' does not.
3/ As far as I know, 'Keep' is not related to that. It is mainly used
to obtain \vspace* vs \vspace and ensure that your space is
effectively added (the default is 'at least this space').
