A much simpler link for such posts is

https://goo.gl/maps/uqT5pfYLx2RgUUwZ8

Just click on the three dots to the right of the street adress
and select 'Share or embed image'. Then copy the link.

Thanks. I used to know how to do that, before Maps was "improved". In Map view, use the three dashes to the left of the address, and select similarly.

Q1. Is it expected that the condensed form will give the same result for as long as Google Maps exists?

Yes. But if you have your line length set to the generally
accepted line length of 80 characters, the link fits neatly
into one line.

The long link breaks at the end of the line, so doesn't work
without some repair work or using tinyurl (or similar).

Q2. How do they arrange that, when I drop the little man in Maps onto a location, the initial View is always facing in the opposite direction to what I want?

I think it is purely random but you are obviously unlucky!
