The answer to your adept question would be: yes.
To get to the final Essence cost you do this: ((5-10%) 4.5-10%) 4.05.
Although a mathematician would club you to death for writing it this way.
Yeah, I know, but I'm tired of always having to writing correct math at University...

yes, if you wanted to spend all those magic points to actually GET them up to that level . . but think of the powers that do something in regards of your magic attribute . . like wall-running or gliding or something like that which let's you walk magic meters on walls and over water or something like that . .
Thanks for the advice, but I never had the idea of actually doing it, I was just wondering if it was right...

Yes, but the maximum magic attribute is I believe 12... 6 magic with 6 points of initiation (i.e. augmentation to your magic attribute) so that would be 12 combat sense and 12 mystic armor. And with 12 points of magic to power physad powers... there are more interesting things to do than that.
The second... the discount on the package gives you the essence you lose when you install it. Similar to installing alpha/beta/delta ware. You discount the package's essence by the package/alpha/beta/delate reduction, then apply your modifier to it. Now the alpha/beta/delta mod would stack with the package.
But Biocompatibility doesn't reduce the package's essence cost, it reduces the impact of it being put in you.
First you make the package and get it's discount, then you get yours...
Theoretically the maximum magic you can have is unlimited, your maximum magic rating = your magic rating + your essence...
Explanation:
Assume grades are gotten asap.
Max magic rating = max magic + grade...
Grade = magic rating...
=> max magic rating = max magic + magic rating...
Max magic = essence rounded down...
=> max magic rating = essence + magic rating
This means that as long as you have 1 or more essence, you can always improve your magic rating.
This also means that when your essence falls below 1 you don't lose all your magic, but you'll never be able to improve it unless you get your essence above 1...
And about the essence cost, are you saying that if I get the package I mentioned before delta style I get a 60% (50 for delta, 10 for package) discount and pay 2 essence?
Or is it first the delta, 2.5 E cost and then package, 2.25 E cost?
