You are merely setting the detection point below the range of the incoming
signal (or 0V if there is not signal). It is not a fault.

Not surprising. See above. You are simply clocking a High into all the stages.

Correct, as the COMP OUT is now connected to Stage 8, and mimmicing it.

If you want to change the sense, increase the value of the resistor between
the CCW end of the pot and the negative rail.
