You have to set the barNumberScriptPadding in the Score context,
since that's where the bar number are printed. The easiest way is
to say
\translator{\OrchestralScoreContext
barNumberScriptPadding = 10;
}
in the \paper section.

If you want these cue notes printed with smaller note heads
in the same system (commonly used in orchestral parts), you
just add another voice in the same staff:
... r8^"violin:" <{r8} \context Voice=cue { \small \stemup g''16 a}> | ...
If you want it on a separate staff line, that's printed only
at this place, you could take a look at the file
input/test/extra-staff.ly in the Lilypond source tree.

The following solution is extremely clumsy, but I can't find
anything better :
[a16 c e \property Voice.stemRightBeamCount=1 c
\property Voice.stemLeftBeamCount=1 a c e c]
I hope you know how to use the \relative command to avoid most
"'" in your examples above, it's described in the manual.
