If your phals makes pink/dark colored blooms, the purple leaf underside is normal. On my dark bloomed ones the new years tend to come out quite purple, and it fades over time. For a light colored bloomer it could be that the plant is getting the maximum amount of light that it can tolerate. Where are you growing it?
The nubbins at the base all look like roots to me,which is a very good thing for this plant.
I think some of your picture links didn't work, since I didn't see a picture of a nub in the middle of a leaf.
