That was quite detailed analysis so I tried to replicate it.
This is the input file (I only added a first blank line and a dummy heading):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#
* test table
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :vlines t :id "09.0001-ESCH" :skip-empty-rows t
| | ITEM | Quotation | Sold | Required |
|---+----------------------+-----------+------+----------|
| | * Escopo Horas | 230 | 1640 | |
| | ** Ger�ncia | 10 | | |
| | ** Defini��o | 50 | | |
| | ** Configura��o | 100 | | |
| | ** Comis. & Start up | 50 | | |
| | ** Documenta��o | 20 | | |
| / | <> | <> | <> | <> |
#+END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I did a C-c C-e L to export to tex and following is what I got:

It does not exhibit any of the three issues you listed. I have no clue why it
works for me so I checked my latex export related settings but there's nothing
interesting there. Now I know none of this helps you but thought I would add
a data point. May be someone else can try too?
