1. I have a screenshot of a score:

My question is: do you think the note stems in measure 22, beat 2, are
too "short?" If they are, what would you suggest as a possible solution?
Yes they look too short -- use special tools to lengthen them.
2. The old multimovement one Finale document versus multimovement
multi-docoument issue raises it's head for me(yet again).

In the score, I'm pretty sure I have a page break or system break at the
end of the movement. When I generated parts, this is the result in the
PDF. No tempo marking got moved with the part (even though I attached it
to the specific measure in the score).
The other bothersome thing, is the spacing. Should I basically try to do
in the parts, what I've done in the score: engrave the parts so the
movement ends at the bottom of a page? Then indent on the next page
where a new movement starts?
You may have turned off the Score Expressions in the list of Items to
Display -- use the Staff Tool to see if that's the case. That would
explain the absence of tempo markings, unless you placed them in the
score with the This Staff Only box checked, in which case they won't
extract with any other staff.
As for getting the first line of each movement to indent, since the
number of systems in the extracted part is very different from the
number of systems in the score, Finale can't tell which system you would
like indented.
It's not that big a deal to indent for the start of each new movement in
an extracted part. As for ending a movement at the bottom of a page,
I've rarely seen multi-movement works where each movement in a part
starts at the top of a page. Just move things around to get them where
you want them.
Part extraction, as far as I can tell, will never be simply a click of
the mouse and then a Print command. Even in Sibelius, with its linked
score/parts, each part STILL needs to be massaged to be just right.
Of course, I could do mutli-finale documents (meaning a new document for
each movement) which would prevent all this in the part extraction. But
on the flip side, the publisher will have to do a lot of PDF stiches.
Yes you could do that, but why? It's more work, in my opinion.
