Yes, for those cases you could set the break-visibility to 
begin-of-line-invisible. The vertical orientation (up/down)
is set using the direction property and the horizontal
justification is set using self-alignment-X, so there are
many options available.

For the following, I don't know any perfect simple solution
but you could set direction = #0 and self-alignment-X=-1
as a good starting point and then tweak it using 
extra-offset. 
Would it be possible to tweak the instrument name engraver
into doing the job?
Another question is how you shorten the system so the text
doesn't fall off the page.

Yes, see above.
