Wow, lots of questions... I'll try to answer what i
can.

1) Dr. Injector (seem to be a chain... this was out of
a guy's house in Lynnwood, WA).  He had the whole test
station, though, so i can't imagine it is much
different than 95% of the other injector cleaning
people out there.
2) "good" is as good as it gets for injector spray
patterns, apparently.
3) I presume the 95mL at his test conditions, seeing
as how 8 out of 8 yielded that after cleaning.  Bently
has official specs on this.
4) I don't know if there is a "viable home remedy".
I've heard of people making their own ultrasonic
cleaners with very simple devices, and i am sure a
bottle of cleaner can't hurt, but i don't know much of
anything about this one.

I'll probably just throw in a new bottle of cleaner
every oil change, or something like that, to try and
keep these ones un-gummed.
