1. he notes that I was both Passing and Not Passing another vehicle

Actually, it says that when he FIRST observed your car you were passing. At that time he "visually estimated" your speed. Subsequently, he activated his radar. At THAT time you were NOT passing another vehicle.

2. the officer does not state how soon after and before he tested the radar

He says, "before and after my shift". That's pretty definitive.

3. he doesn't note who is the manufacturer of the device ??

No, but you can find that when you go to court to inspect the radar certification (something I highly recommend doing).

4. How can he note that I was doing (oddly enough) 2 MPH less than the radar's reading

Not really relevant.

5. Do radar devices require a particular distance as he does not note it here?

Nope. It only has a "maximum" distance (usually around a mile).

Personally, I don't see much here. Perhaps you'll have more luck with the radar cert. Otherwise, as you pointed out, a deferral is looking more and more probable.

Good luck,
