The first two screenshots are the broken display of pages, from 3 to 5 - this is how it should be displayed according to the idea, this is a screenshot of the pdf file.

Hi:
Okay, a few things.
Firstly, how are you separating your pages, sections or chapters? For example, in the one, the page with the image of Van Gogh, it looks as though the pages or sections both before it and after are crowding in on the page, yes?
What exactly, coding-wise, is between those?
In my own ePUBs and in those my company makes, we put individual sections in their own HTML or XHTML files. Like so, as an example:
cover.html (or xhtml)
title.html (ditto)
copy.html (ditto, etc.)
ded.html
for.html
...and so on.
I'm 99% sure that you're NOT doing that; that you're separating your "pages" with..oh, page breaks or empty paragraphs or the like. Try putting your individual front matter sections into their ONW html sections/files and see if that doesn't help enormously.
With regard to the TOC layout, the chapter numbers inside the box--you should really
give that up now. It CAN be done, somewhat, but it will never look like what you expect; it won't align with the section or chapter titles, at all. You're...you're banging your head against the wall.
Try those things first and let's see how far you get, eh?
