I would first start with a cleaning of the throttle body for the rough idle.

After that do a basic tune up with good ignition parts, don't skimp on these.

Pour a bottle of Chevron Techron into the gas tank prior to your next fill up, and fill up with high octane gas. It can do wonders.

Your compression test looks pretty good to me.

The oil in the air filter box is perfectly normal. I've got 3 240s ('76 245, '77 244, and a '80 245) and I've encountered this in all 3.

How much oil are you losing between changes? If it's less then a quart, I don't think you have too much to worry about.

Good luck!
