Width of glyphs is drawn from the font assigned to LO paragraph. But your tab stops are not set to character spacing, with defaults probably set in inches. Either adjust the font size so default tab stops match--or probably better to change tab stops to char units and drag the tab stop to shift alignment. Either way => NAB
Within rulers (Shift + Ctrl + R) then right-click, Char as unit is selected, Tab stops, those one present at default, cannot be dragged nor removed, as probably they are not intended to be. What could be this tab stop to be dragged you referred to?.
Ssee the help for setting /editing tab stops, e.g. https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/guide/tabs.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3144436

Again, issue you are having is not that pasted formatting changes, rather that your pasted monospacxed content contains <tabs> characters, and those are not defined by the font metric--rather by the tab stops set for a paragraph (or other object with text attributes). You have to adjust the tab stops. You can ensure in advance that the format for the paragraph receiving the pasted mono-spaced font with <tabs> has a couple of tab stops set on the ruler (and removing the rest of the preset 'center tab' spacing). Save that as a new style (perhaps a child of the 'Preformatted Text' style for reuse. Set receiving paragraph to that style before pasting.
Could not guess what you meant. Won't investigate the behaviour. Closed from my side.
