Show command prompt including commands issued before entering neovim
I suggest :suspend or Ctrl-z, which put vim in the background, returning you to the shell from which you launched it. Then use your shell's normal job-control commands to return (e.g., fg).

How can I emulate :shell command in Neovim?
It should be possible to attach to a tmux session from the terminal, i.e. :term tmux a. I'm not sure how usable it will be, but it's one way to get a persistent shell from neovim.

Asking for advice for fully committing to leader key keybinds
This does look like a bug in FTerm.
As mentioned in the comments, usually in situations like this, normal mode mappings should not apply.
This is usually achieved by setting the buftype to terminal.
