As I understand it, you need either a space after the brivla, or to indicate stress explicitly.
Exactly.
{nelcitavlado} is otherwise one long brivla (although I'm not sure it makes any sense interpreted as such; maybe it could be a Stage 4 fu'ivla?) since the consonant pair {lc} marks the word as a brivla, and only a space, a pause or an explicit stress indication can mark the end of the brivla (Chapter 4 Section 3). The default stress rule would apply and so it would be pronounced as {nelcitavLAdo}.
Yes. Anything of brivla form that remains after removing gismu and lujvo forms, is a fu'ivla form. (Defining "brivla form" is slightly more complicated than just looking for consonant clusters: you have to remove any leading cmavo forms and exclude "slinku'i"-foms as well.) mu'o mi'e xorxes
