One can certainly deduce the font size from the staff size and the
font-size of the markup, but I have no idea how exactly.

One other way to make sure the headers/footers are to your liking is to
adjust the header/footer markups to use \abs-fontsize instead of the
\large etc. This has the advantage that a change to the staff size does
not change the headers/footers.
The disadvantage is that you need to copy all header/footer markup
fields (i.e. the (even|odd)(Header|Footer)Markup variable) in the
\header block to your (include) files and adjust them.

Basically, it says that pdfpages DOES print the latex header/footer on
top of the included pdf pages. The reason why you don't see any
headers/footers is that pdfpages explicitly sets the page style to empty
(i.e. no header/footers) for the included pages. So to get the latex
headers/footers, you have to restore the default page style for each
included page (using the pagecommand option).

Cheers,
Reinhold
