Both "problems" are due to a default setting in the LilyPond kate mode. This 
is because the settings in the General Editor Settings also apply to Kate and 
KWrite.

To change the settings for the LilyPond mode:
- go to settings -> configure Frescobaldi
- select Editor Component -> Open/Save
- select the tab Modes & Filetypes
- choose Filetype Other/LilyPond from the dropdown list
- edit the settings in the Variables field.

To get help about the meaning of these variables:
- Click the help button in the bottom left of the settings dialog
- in the Frescobaldi help section "Editor Component", follow the link to the
  Kate manual
- in the Kate manual, click on the link "Document Variables" in the first
  paragraph
- read this page and scroll down for the variables.

You will want to set indent-width and 'replace-tabs off' to stop changing tabs 
in to spaces. Also remove 'space-indent on;' and 'replace-tabs-save on;'
