Regarding point number 2, it should be noted that this only applies for non mono-spaced fonts. If you were using a mono-spaced font, then each character glyph uses the same physical canvas width as all others.

No, you are wrong. Unicode characters can be halfwidth or fullwidth even for monospaced fonts.

Would it be a bit better if I go through each line and instead of getting the length, get the actual width of it?
