The 'extra desktop' is a known bug, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199729, as is the duplicated toolsets, although I've not come across a bug report for that and the devs didn't point me at one. The 'extra desktop' is because when you set it up like this it makes a new set of desktops, forgetting to re-use your original Desktop 1. Neither are harmful in any way, just slightly confusing. They will not be fixed, because the part of code that controls this is re-written for the next release, which is due very soon. IOW, both will disappear after an update before very long.
