Odd wiring in tube ampmschematics

All domestic mains current loads are balanced, ie live & neutral carry the same & opposite current, resulting in nearly zero magnetic field. Pacemakers, like any life-critical medical equipment, are designed & tested to meet harsh real-world conditions & keep going.
Nope:
The neutral carries the "difference current" in the legs of a split phase system. It can be 180 or -180 out of phase (Said for ease of understanding).. It can also be zero, but not likely,
The "difference current" is more accurate. While voltage is usually sinusoidal, current doesn't have to be. Voltage is what's regulated. inductive loads are one matter, but laptop switching power supplies is another.
