I'm sure it's just a typo in your post, but you should set the pad to disk clearance to 0.1mm, not 1mm. I generally don't bother to measure but instead wind the adjuster on each pad in to start binding the brake, then wind off just enough to allow free running. Once all 4 are set like that the brakes and handbrake work a treat.
Does the left inner pad lock the disk when you wind the adjuster in too far? And does the caliper lever move as it should when the handbrake is operated? If not, is the lever on the left caliper free to move? Your comment that the handbrake lever only moves half as far suggests that the left caliper lever is not moving.
Note that the handbrake will not be 'synchronised' on both calipers - one will always operate before the other (ie the cable will pull the easiest lever first, then the stiffer one) but this doesn't matter - it just applies one pad before the other.
The alfetta caliper conversion can be done but is less than ideal because the pistons are much bigger than in the sud rear caliper and so cause brake balance issues.
