    The fact that the entire map shows up instantly is a feature of Minecraft 1.8. For the map not zooming out, do not use shift-click with the zoom-out recipe!

    Answer 3

    According to wiki, maps have a zoom level, which was fixed at 1:8 prior to snapshot 12w34a, but from 12w34b starts at 1:1 and can be increased up to 1:16 by re-crafting an existing map (which means it is 64 times smaller than before). And there's a bug(MC-87) where if you use shift click to zoom out a map does not apply correct zoom level. Make sure you are not holding shift while crafting.
