Hi Peter!

It seems that the invisible e you add for the ending of the bow is drawn as
a note facing the left side (you can unhide it) which explains the
right-shift of the e2.
If you rearrange it to:
  <<
    \relative {
      b,4.~( 8 c e  <b~ e,>4.  4 b,8 |
      <e) e,>2. s2.
    }
    \\
    \relative
    {
      e,2.~ 4.~ 4 s8 |
      f'4.\rest
    }
  >>
this interestingly also seems to solve the other problem.

All the best
Christian
