This is a bit weird, but I cannot find a way to solve both your problems 
simultainously.
The first problem is solved by

  \override StaffGroup.SystemStartBracket #'style = #'bar-line
  \override StaffGroup.SystemStartBracket #'thickness = #4

(of course you may alter the thickness to your liking)

The second problem i solved by

   \override StaffGroup.SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #1

Unfortunately the c++-code contains an explicit check against the case 
that you have style=bar-line and only one staff. So the two solutions 
above do not work at the same time :-(
I post a message on the devel-list to see if anybody knows why this 
check is in the code.
