1. This means Urahara has been up there, the guy himself said normal shinigami aren't allowed there...so what gives.

Or he and Urahara could have known each other before this guy was accepted into 0 squad. If you remember, that fat chick was accepted into 0 squad only a few years before the 'turn back the pendulum arc'. Maybe this other guy was accepted in just a few years before that. Plenty on time for them to know each other in SS.

2. Kyoraku asking in the previous chapter asking what do you want this time, meaning they've been down before.

I don't know, but maybe there have been a handful of times they've had to come down in the past.
I also get the feeling that these guys don't last forever. They all seem fairly young to me. I can't help but wonder if they're really the kings bodyguards or if there isn't something more sinister behind it. Like, what if the king is really a Humonculi, like of Full Metal Alchemist. The only difference is that instead of feeding off flesh alone, this guy needs to feed of powerful spiritual energy, and if no one offers to feed him then he comes to SS and starts devouring shinigami like mad, so the shinigami send up ritual sacrifice every now and then to appease it's appetite.
The 0 squad guys could be the ones that go out and find the "food" for the boss, or they could be the sacrifice and not even know it. LOL, it has been said once promoted to 0 squad you "NEVER" come back.

3. and the fact that the healing guy has taught unohona healing techniques.

Maybe before going to 0 squad he was the previous captain of the 4th squad and Unohana was his vice-captain. That easily explains their relationship, and why he talked down to her like an underling this last time they met.
