That is because you have enabled "Other Account Name" ("Name des Gegenkontos") 
in the options. In case of multi-split transactions, the other account name 
will always be "Split" ("Vollständig") regardless of multi-line or single.

Same story here. Because you used "Other Account Name", the "Vollständig" 
column shows up.

You can't.

What you can get with multiline is this:

Expenses:Food
Januar 2010
05.01.2010 Grocery  Expenses:Food      10
                    Expenses:Other     10
                    Konten:Bar     20
....

and

Konten:Bar
Januar2010
05.01.2010 Grocery  Konten:Bar           20
                    Expenses:Food  10
                    Expenses:Other 10
....

So that means that in each account you see the complete list of splits per 
transaction. In your Expenses:Food account, you see all three splits for 
Groceries and in account Konten:Bar, you will see them again, perhaps slightly 
rearranged.

To get this, you need to
* enable multiline ("Multizeilen")
* check "Account Name" ("Kontobezeichnung")
* uncheck "Other Account Name" ("Name des Gegenkontos")
