0) This is normal, yes.
1) (display ...) does not include an implicit newline; you must
explicitly give a newline character or call (newline) for this:
> (display "something\n")
something
> (begin (display "something") (newline))
something

2) The interpreter does not read until both an expression is present
and your parentheses are balanced. This is to allow multi-line
expressions, e.g.
> (define (do-thing x)
(do-thing-one x)
(do-thing-two x))
