You can fix both of these with staff-padding; see the section on "Moving
Objects" in the manual.

\version "2.10.0"

<<
  \chords { g2:7 c g:7 c g:7 c:maj7 g:7.9.13 c:6.9 }

  \relative c'' {
    \override Voice.TextScript #'staff-padding = #4
    #(set-octavation 1)
    <g d'f b>2^\markup \fret-diagram-terse #"x;x;5;7;6;7;"
%etc
