Paul,
1.  Number your questions (wink)
2.  190 for a freshly started motor is OK.  Some would say it's  OK for a 
broken in motor running stationary for 20 minutes.
3.  That it rises after you shut it off is OK
4.  I would ditch the pressure tester and just see if it  overheats.  Looks 
like it doesn't
5.  Figure of 8 is far from the weakest point in the system.  The  things are 
clamped in at 105 ft lbs.
6.  I recall you said your water may have been rain from your motor  sitting.
7.  Did you find coolant in the oil after the 20 minute run?
8.  I think you are asking if you should tighten a radiator bung at 50  ft 
lbs.  That is a lot for a radiator and you are likely to break something  IMO.
 
Whew!
 
That my take on the subject(s).
