The pink noise test tone is made up of all the frequencies in the bass spectrum, so when it plays, it will measure at the SPL of the loudest part of the spectrum
But this would also be the case if you had no equalization and you had a large peak in your sub response. The sub versus mains speaker level setting using the processors test tones is a rough setting that can be accomplished much better with REW whether you have equalized with or without a housecurve. It is much more accurate.

Your second point is quite valid. If you've been aggressive at cutting at higher frequencies around the crossover (for whatever reason), and you have two programs where one has a lower output around the crossover, then you will have a step problem between the sub and mains. It's something to watch out for..........
