You have to declare the body region properly in your page-master
so that it doesn't extend into the region-after.
For example
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="content"
margin-top="6mm"
margin-bottom="0mm"
...>
<fo:region-body margin-top="25mm" margin-bottom="20mm"/>
<fo:region-after extent="15mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
This means roughly
-------------- page top
^
| margin-top of the page (6mm)
v
--------------
^
| margin-top of region body (25mm)
v
--------------
^
| region-body (size depends on page-height)
v
---------------------------------------------x
^ -----
| margin-bottom of region body (20 mm) ^
| | region after (15mm)
v v
---------------------------------------------x ------
^
| margin-bottom of the page (0mm)
v
-------------- page bottom

A sequence of pages. You can define static content for a page sequence
to put into regions defined in the page-master(s) for that sequence. You
can select a starting page number. The processor will generate a page,
take text defined in the fo:flow in the sequence, put as much as
possible/sensible onto the page, and if there is text left in the flow it
will start another page until it runs aout of text.
The XSLFO spec has a more detailed description of everything.

Yes. Be aware that a new page sequence always starts at the top of a new
page.
It is not uncommon to have different page sequences for TOCs, indexes,
colophons, title pages, abstracts and some people create one for each
chapter/appendix. This is also a strategy to reduce total memory
consumption of FOP and the risk of running out of memory.

That's one of the most common reason to have several page sequences.

Wouldn't you use fo:leader for generating rules?
Also, it shouldn't be necessary to generate a footnote,
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="stuff.jgp"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
works just fine. I regularly put SVG into headers and footers. For
laout, it may be easier to use a blind table rather than a weird
combination of nested fo:inlines and fo:blocks.
