That's because they were counting Immaterial and Missing Power, the first non-integer Touhou game as Touhou 8, rather than 7.5.

Also "Cirno = 9 baka" actually comes from PoFV's manual, where the screen layout guide (pic related) labelled her as "9: baka (idiot)"

The wiki is not very useful for explaining pofv scoring. I can explain more if you need any help.

I don't know how basic I need to get in how the game works, but basically, when killing faries or spirits, any pellets nearby will be reflected to the enemy's screen, giving you gauge and increasing your spellpoint combo (#4 in pic). Don't let the bar there run out or you'll lose your combo. Try to get your combo to 999,990, at which point you'll get lots of score for every pellet reflected. Use only level 1 and level 2 charges alongside your regular shot. Level 3s and 4s are a waste of gauge. If you can't get to max combo for "bonus", you won't be getting much score. Starting with Reisen or Cirno might be the easiest to start out scoring with, since they can get to max combo more easily than most other characters.

You don't want to be constantly shooting either. Wait until more faries are on the screen so you can get the biggest reflections possible. If possible, reflect things through shooting and level 1s before using your level 2s (which also spawn bullets on the enemy screen). Keep in mind that when you are unfocused, more faries will come onto your screen, so try to only use your scope to activate spirits so you can kill them with a single shot.

If the fight advances enough and you get enough pellets on the screen before the you or the AI die, using a level 2 charge attack can give you enough charge to use another one. Then you can keep using level 2s almost continuously. Try to keep this up at max combo for as long as you can since it will give you tons of reflections and score. This is generally called a spellfight.

>Your gauge fills more quickly with higher combo
I don't think this is true. Pretty sure it's directly tied to how many faries/spirits you kill and pellets reflected. Rank may also be a factor, although that might just be because there are more bullets to reflect.

>At 500000, you also send out a free lvl 3
500k sends out a boss as well.

Shame it's actually true.

>in the manual for Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she is labeled as "9. Idiot" in an explanation of the game screen's layout.
Do some research next time, instead of expecting others to spoonfeed you.
