I don't have a solution to your Lilypond input structuring
question, but I can answer:

The usual way is to put the chord symbols below the volta
bracket, as Lilypond does by default. I looked at several
publishers and also hand-drawn Real Book charts and could not
find any examples that were otherwise.
If your local library has sheet music or songbooks available for
loan, perhaps you can find some examples there. Any of the
prevalent "real book"/"fake books" that are out there will also
show examples of the standard practice for chord changes in volta
endings.
Perhaps you can share a *small, cropped* mini-image of a section
where Lilypond's default looks unappealing to you?
