Salubri, let me address each issue as you presented it:

1.) First, let's put the constant that all the Fullbringers in Bleach have/had Human mothers. The children of any Shinigami women would most likely become Shinigami themselves since that seems to be the primary course of action for individuals in Soul Society who have high levels of spirit energy. Also, yes, Ichigo was not meant to keep his Fullbring. That was obvious when Ginjo stabbed Ichigo, stealing his powers. When I said the issue of Ichigo having a Fullbring being resolved, I meant that Ichigo having a Fullbring after his mother was attacked by a Hollow AFTER he was born didn't make sense. Since his mother was a Quincy, it makes sense now how Ichigo got his Fullbring powers because Masaki would have most likely been injured by a Hollow at one point in her life.

2.) Aizen stated that Urahara's desire was the shatter the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollows. The Hogyoku read and acted upon this, creating the Visoreds out of Shinji and co. Even after all that time in the world of the Living, it's conceivable that Urahara still desired that. Yes, Ichigo's main problem in Shattered Shaft was whether he'd become a Hollow or a Shinigami, but it's not too far-fetched to infer that the partial transformation into a Hollow created Hollow Ichigo.

3.) The point I was trying to make was that Masaki's knowledge of Blut, and I don't mean head knowledge, I meant DNA knowledge, was passed on to Ichigo, and it lay dormant in him. With Juhabach stabbing Ichigo in the neck, that would have activated a self-defense mechanism, which would have awakened Blut Vene. It's not a perfect theory, but it's the best I can come up with.

I assume you meant 4.) There are different levels of Menos Grande. And it was shown that Grimmjow was an Adjuchas prior to becoming an Espada, and I can assume he only got stronger until that time seeing as how his Fracciones leveled off after Grimmjow consumed them. Also, Tier Halibel was shown to be a Vasto Lorde in the anime, and that episode did not really conflict with the manga. It's safe to say that Starrk, Barragan, Halibel, and Ulquiorra were all Vasto Lordes prior to becoming Espadas. My statement of Ichigo being a Vasto Lorde-level Visored stemmed from what I read in Volume 41 where he was tearing Ulquiorra apart (literally) after going into a Full Hollowfication. Since it was technically a part of Ichigo's Visored nature, that's why I stated his power as a "Vasto Lorde-level Visored"

Now, if it does come up that Ichigo is an entirely new type of being, then let it happen. Otherwise, I'm simply providing other speculation as to what Ichigo is. I think the Mimicry theory is actually very sound as to what has been written in the series.

I do apologize for the "Silver Platter Dig". That was very rude of me. However, I think that your "Thank you for totally ignoring the point of this blog in its entirity" bit was equally as offensive. Since you are an admin on this Wiki, I actually expected someone who was characterized by a calm and collected nature who could handle those who act out of turn.
