You should also set wrap, in case it isn't set already. I.e. replace
"setlocal lbr" with "setlocal wrap lbr". It may be wise to also set
the 'showbreak' option to something, but not strictly necessary. :help
'showbreak'.
setlocal display=lastline would also be a good idea. :help 'display'

You probably want "map <buffer> j gj" and "map <buffer> j gj" instead.
Using <buffer> means that the mapping won't also be used in windows
with other files.
Of course there would be nothing wrong with dispensing with the
autocmd entirely and just putting "map j gj" directly in your .vimrc.

The 'comments' make Vim aware of comment markers when doing
autoformatting so they can be accounted for. Probably not something
you need for prose, though it looks like it's used in your case so you
can automatically get a sort of list bullet if your format options
include 'r' or 'o'. See :help 'comments' and :help 'formatoptions'.

Nope, sorry. You can try using a split window and adjusting the size
of that instead of your terminal window. That could even be done
automatically using vimscript, though I think it would get annoying.
