No, partly because the context of which narrow border you clicked is
needed to reference the panes you want to work on. "Add below", "Split
left vertically", etc. are relative to the border you selected.
Thinking about it, I guess there could be a command that cycles through
the borders using a key, so that you can select the one you want that
way, and then pop up the context menu with another key.
Also the context free commands could be made accessible as targets for
keybinding, currently there's
free-layout-load
Open context menu for loading a different layout,
conventient keyboard shortcut target.
free-layout-load-<layout-name>
Load the named layout
free-layout-restore
Use the layout this outline had when it was opened.
free-layout-zoom
Zoom or unzoom the current pane

Yes, the Save and Load layout menu items in the context menu. The last
layout saved or loaded for an outline will be used for that outline in
subsequent sessions. Note that layouts are stored in g.app.db and
c.db, so they don't travel with the outline, just apply to it when it's
running on your machine. Unless you use context-menu embed layout, of
course.

No, it happens to me too, and is a bug. I think it's basically the
same as the context menu's "Rotate all" option, which isn't well named,
seeing it really just toggles between +0 degrees and +90 degrees. So I
guess the fix is to make the old 'Window', 'Toggle Split Direction'
command call free_layout's "Rotate all", which should probably be
renamed.
Just because it's easy, I'm going to add a
free-layout-context-menu
command to open the free layout context menu using the first border in
the top level splitter as the context, that will at least give keyboard
access to the menu for commands which don't require selecting a border
for context. In future maybe there'll be an option to select which
border is used for this command's context.
