I'm afraid I also get the "Kobo quirks" at some page/chapter ends. It certainly makes an epub better than not doing it, though, because Kobo seems to default to
Code:
body {orphans: 3; widows: 3}
if you don't add anything. This is a bit odd as the normal default is 2.

To get line spacing of 1.3 instead of 1.0, what would I change on the Look & Feel page in Calibre? Minimum line height = 130%?

It depends what the particular epub already has in its css file. I
think setting Min. line height=130% in calibre Look&Feel means that calibre will make sure that any line height which is <130% will be set to 130% after the conversion and anything greater will be left alone.
I don't use this option myself, I have Min. line height=0% and Line height=0pt
I prefer to selectively delete line-height settings from the css so that I can set it via my various reading devices instead.

My Kobo Glo has never ignored it in the body style - at least not on any of the fw versions I've used to date. One can never assume what might happen in future Kobo releases though...
The oddity you pointed out is a fairly typical, but totally unpredictable (
at least by me), quirk. So I guess my experience is different from ewphoenix123 in this respect. I know that my epubs are well-formatted but I still get 'one-line gaps' at the end of some pages even when the end of the paragraph will easily fit.
I'll try adding p {widows: 0; orphans: 0} as well but I'm not convinced it will fix anything. I'm quite happy to be wrong.
Edit: I did try it and the results don't look to be any different from just having body {widows: 0; orphans: 0} YMMV
