A schema with unevaluatedProperties can "see" into a $ref, but the 
ref'ed schema having unevaluatedProperties can't see back to the 
referring schema for properties defined there.

So if a schema is referenced by other schemas which can define their own 
additional properties, that schema cannot have 'unevaluatedProperties: 
false'. If both schemas have 'unevaluatedProperties: false', then it's 
just redundant. We may end up doing that just because it's not obvious 
when we have both or not, and no unevaluatedProperties/ 
additionalProperties at all is a bigger issue. I'm working on a 
meta-schema to check this.

No. Either way behaves the same. We generally only use 'allOf' when 
there might be more than 1 entry. That is mostly just at the top-level.
