Well, I more or less found a solution for my both problems (see following code):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.16.0"
#(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines)

markVerticalMarkup =
#(define-music-function (parser location user-markup) (markup?)
   #{
     \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
     \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
     \once \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
     \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(0.4 . 11)
     \mark \markup {
       \rotate #90 {
         \fontsize #-6 {
           $user-markup
     } } }
#})

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff {
      R1 R1
      \markVerticalMarkup \markup {
        \column {
          "One line of text"
          "An other one"
          "A third one"
      } }
    }
    \new Staff { R1 R1 }
    \new Staff { R1 R1 }
  >>
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

According to debugging skylines, the \markup related directive enable
extra width handling as requested, but I couldn't move the rendered
text without relying on the extra-offset parameter, which break all
these efforts.
