I've shown you the short-cut way to create multiple voices in LilyPond. 
Please read 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices for 
more details.  The reason the accidental was engraved is that \override 
Voice.Accidental.stencil removes the stencil in the current voice.  When you 
write { ... } \\ { ... } new temporary voices are created, and the stencil 
needs to be removed in each { ... } temporary voice as well.

Please read the partcombine section of the NR: it's quite clear that this is 
designed to combine instrumental parts into a single part wherever possible: 
it therefore, I believe, does not put 2 rests where one would do.  From 
looking at your music, it appeared to me you needed polyphony, not part 
combining.
