Question about Household Size in I-864 - Conflicting instructions

Here's an screenshot of the part of the form that is relevant to my question: https://imgur.com/sN0yDoI

In Part 5 of form I-864, petitioner is asked for information about their household size. Question 1 asks directly for the number of applicants that the petitioner (my spouse) is sponsoring. The answer to that is 1 as I am the only one being sponsored.
Then, Question 2 asks the petitioner to write 1 to include themselves, and Question 3 asks the petitioner to write 1 again if they have a spouse. Questions 4-7 asks for other dependents, which are not relevant to our case. However, in Question 8, the form asks you to declare the household size of the petitioner by adding the responses for questions 1 through 7.

This leads to a problem since I will be double-counted in Question 1 and in Question 3. Adding responses for questions 1 through 7 means we will have to enter our household size as 3, whereas our household size is just my spouse and me (i.e. 2). So, we are leaning on entering 2 as our household size despite the fact that following the instruction to add questions 1 through 7 leads a household size of 3, which is not the case. However, we wanted a second opinion on this. Thanks.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
