This example is not minimal. You are mixing four things 
together, and still not giving complete information. Ideally you should 
have one **minimal** example for each problem. See below for an 
example.

These two are related to font. Either show that something is wrong with 
default typescripts (lmodern, times, palatino, etc) else it means that 
tosmething is wrong with your typescript. But first you have to narrow 
down the problem

I don't know how to prevent this. But again, this has nothing to do with 
columns or fonts.

Here is a minimal example (no page setup, font setup, or styles needed to 
show the problem)

\starttext
\startcolumns

\input knuth
\input tufte
\column
\input tufte
\inmargin{This is in wrong margin}
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

The marin note in 2nd column is displayed in the 1st column. This is 
artifact of the way in which TeX constructs columns: first creating a long 
and narrow page and then splitting it into two. I don't know at what stage 
of the OTR are margin notes inserted, and if there is a workaround. Maybe 
others can help.

\raisebox{1em}\hbox{--}
