First of all:
In the BibDesk list you are complaining that you are not getting  
answers fast enough here.

Three comments to that:

- This is not a professional support hotline. Everybody who helps you  
here does this when and because he likes to do so.
Answers make take longer than two days.

- It's nice that you supply example documents, but they are not  
minimal examples. Please take out all your \geometry etc. stuff, keep  
only what is needed to reproduce your problems.
Please respect the rules, as quoted in every mail footer:
"If you have a problem, please provide a complete minimal example  
document (with a small bibliography database), which runs out of he  
box without any superfluous packages loaded, otherwise we could not  
help. "

- It is more than disencouraging that you don't follow up to the  
answers you have been getting here. Please reply to the answers you  
are getting and tell those who help you if the solutions worked!

Try

\renewcommand{\jbcitationyearformat}[1]{\unskip:#1}

None that I know of, probably not an easy one.

Dirty hack:

\AddTo\bibsspanish{%
         \def\editionname{\unskip}%
}

This will remove the "edicion" for all edition fields however.

I think, jurabib should do the following here:
- Add the "edicion" string for all edition fields without curly brackets
- Don't add it for all edition fields without curly brackets

Or, alternatively,
- Add the "edicion" string for all edition fields
- Implement a "textedition" field where the string is not added.

It is not really joined, but the font's kerning moves the "V" very  
close to the "o", which indeed looks odd.

This should be changed in jurabib.bst:

Line 1750:
-      { "\unskip.\,-- \bibchapterlongname" }
+      { "\unskip.\,-- \bibchapterlongname\/" }


I wonder why this does not work:

\AddTo\bibsspanish{%
     \def\bibchapterlongname{Cap\'itulo\/}%
}

It is not intended that you use "number" and "volume" at once  
(although it might make sense in this case).
Workaround:
Number = {Tomo II, Volumen II}

Do you mean before the "Tomo I"?

Perhaps something like this helps:

\makeatletter
\DeclareRobustCommand{\numberandseries}[2]{%
     \unskip\unskip\unskip%
     \ifjb@jox\space\else,\space\fi
     \bibsnfont{#2}%
     \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{}}{\space}{,~#1}%
}%
\makeatother
