Your example above uses two presets and both are used, the problem is that both presets set a value for the range key and you end up with this setup:

  \definefallbackfamily[…][…][…][range=<range setup for greek>,range=<range setup for cyrillic>]

When you have now multiple settings for the same key only the last setting is used and all of the previous ones are ignored. What you can foo in this case
is to set either the range value by yourself or add multiple fallback setting where you load only one preset, e.g.

  \definefallbackfamily[…][…][…][preset=range:greek]
  \definefallbackfamily[…][…][…][preset=range:cyrillic]

The \em command uses the slanted alternative by default, to use italic for \em add this to your document:

  \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]

Not yet, I can add this feature but it will only work for fallback fonts and not for the normal fonts which are set with \definefontfamily.
