Is this fuel pressure regulator referenced to manifold vacuum? If so, pressure should rise the higher the load / lower vacuum.

The ECU isn't going to cut out spark, it will shut off an injector to prevent raw fuel from overheating the cat.

The short and long term fuel trims likely won't react fast enough from the time the ECU sees a missfire and when it shuts off the offending cylinder.

Yes, since 1 and 3 are pumping air, O2 voltage will drop.
