1This is my best guess based on doing this dance. This applies to all of these Bassa Danze with "turn and face, then riprese" sections in them like this (eg: Reale, Pietosa). It is quite a common theme in the basse danze and balli of the 15th Century, and I have also used this in the riprese - turn - riprese sections in a few of the balli.
2“and one contra doppio turning backwards on the right foot”. Your guess is as good as mine! I always dance the second doppio moving forwards to avoid confusion with the riprese to follow.
