 I'm not a pianist but, looking at your score, I don't recall ever
 seeing ledger lines between the staves, like your last E.
 Shouldn't that note be placed on the upper staff?


It's perfectly normal to have ledgers between the two piano staves. More often than not, the decision whether to put a note to the lower or the upper staff is made according to which hand is suggested to be used for that note (but that's not a firm rule either).


True enough - but it looked a little awkward to me.  Personally I'd have put the beam below the second group of six and the e on the upper staff, but maybe there was a musical reason to do it that way.
