There are no pairwise internal potential terms, as far as I know. The
interesting values are the pairwise non-bonded potentials (particularly
VDW, EEL, and POL). Keep in mind that the POL energies are not pairwise
decomposable due to the inclusion of all atoms in the calculation of the
effective born radii, but it's a reasonable approximation. If you look at
energy values between non-adjacent residues (that is, between residues that
do not share a dihedral), the energy decompositions for idecomp=3 and
idecomp=4 should be identical. If they are not, I think there may be a
problem (note the caveat I mention below).
What happens if you ignore all of the surface tension terms? I think there
was a bug in gbsa=2 (that's been fixed recently -- I'll make a bugfix for
Amber 11 shortly) that was giving rise to this type of behavior.
1. Is my calculation correct?

I do not understand exactly what you're seeing with #3. If you posted
parts of the relevant output files that might help. I don't understand
what is differing where, so it's hard to provide assistance.
HTH,
