Re “spack off,” I think Baker starts to say something like “stand back” or “step back,” then corrects himself to say “back off.” But his mouth is just slightly ahead of his brain. That sort of thing happens to me all the time.

There's a whole scene showing how the slave workers overcome the Movellans! They rewire their power packs. "Now, this bit here and this bit here. Good...."

Apparently Douglas Adams wrote 98% of this not Terry Nation.

I suppose you could partly explain Davros' space knowledge, since only a short time ago for Davros, the Doctor was filling him full of info about the Daleks' exploits and failures. Romana being generally horrified to be in the hands of Dalek interrogation isn't so bad, since she knows of their reputation.
