I'm not sure sanding the bed and leveling pads would have done anything but hurt. Sanding the bed would create high and low spots, and the 'leveling pads' are precision machined washers from what I've read, so I doubt you could improve them by going at them with sandpaper by hand.
To me, the bottom layer doesn't look like a constant level change across the bed, like you would get with a tilted bed. It looks to me more like a localized minimum. This could be from a slightly bowed bed or from uneven sanding. Things tend to bend and warp a bit when heated, so this isn't too surprising to me.
I personally think that looks fine, if you're fussed just over extrude or squash the first layer and take 30 seconds to clean up the bottom edge when it's done.

I've seen other reporting tearing the PEI on a Prusa machine, and now your mention of bubbling under the PEI. Both seem odd to me - I use 30 mil (0.7 mm) thick PEI on my printer and it never bubbles or tears. I put a piece of 60 mil PEI on a printer at the makerspace and it's been on the machine for 2 years and abused daily by many people and no one has managed to damage it. I suggest you use thicker PEI if it will work with the autoleveling system. A piece of 300x300 mm x 30 mil PEI is $21 on amazon these days- the price has gone up from $17 in the last year.
