So I can have different scaling factors (Document Options->Music Spacing->Spacing Widths) in score and parts? Are you sure?

Your 2) and 3) are not correct. Music spacing is not linked between score and parts. You can also change clef in parts with staff styles (transposition>set to clef) in part only. 1) and 4) are valid, though.
