Well, eh. Some of these are easily explainable:
1) River didn't shoot him, River shot the Tesserect. Since so few people know about the War Doctor or the Tenth Metacrisis, everybody he needs to convince that he's dead would expect to see regeneration energy, so it'd make sense to simulate it. It's wibbly wobbly timey wimey - River never shoots him, not even before we see the events of The Wedding of River Song - it's always the Tesserect.
2) The suggestion in the spoilers is that he perhaps doesn't realize maybe until today's episode, or even some time at Christmas, that he's technically out of regenerations. He could still try, though. Time Lords can still trigger the regenerative process when they don't have any left - except it kills them, because it does the dying part and not the regenerative part as there's no energy to do so. A guy deliberately commits suicide this way in old Who.
3) No explanation for this, though. But the amount of energy expended is nowhere near the amount he'd need to actually properly regenerate, I'm sure.
