You have several issues. Without seeing the CSS stylesheet, or the style settings in the HTML, its only a guess how you formatted the ePub. But...
a: Spaces between paragraphs need to be styled using margin-top in the style, preferably with the units being em (e.g. margin-top: 1em;)
b: I see no broken words in your screen shots. ??? Note that word spacing will vary if you style the paragraphs to be justified. To avoid uneven word spacing use text-align: right;.
c: MOBI supports neither negative indents nor padding. For successful conversion these must not be used in the ePub.
