idate problems

Yes, this is indeed a bug in the isleap macro (you needed to call it
with double parens), the fix is

2. idate('y') is supposed to return the year with twodigits, althought it
   returns just 4. This can be fixed with a simple sprintf?

An integer cannot have leading zeros so the behaviour is correct. The
documentation could be changed to reflect the fact the the integer value
of the last two digits is returned, not the actual two digits (which
would be a string and you should use date() for that).
