The Madrid theme uses the infolines outer theme, which inserts the "short institute" (whatever is supplied in the optional argument to \institute) in parentheses. To remove these, you either have to redefine the entire footline template, or patch it. The latter is easier, achievable by adding the following to your preamble after loading the theme:

I've simplified your implementation using \alt<os>{<default>}{<other>} which sets <default> on the given overlay specification and <other> otherwise.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{An equation}
\[
\alt<3>{\frac{1}{\rho }...

The beamer class redefines some of the fonts at \begin{document}. This is so it can support font packages you load in the preamble after the \documentclass. If you move the \savebox from the preamble into the document, it will see that beamer changed the math letters to sans-serif italic and use the same fonts as other math.
\documentclass{beamer}

You can add 'dotted' to draw \draw[brown, dotted] (-2,0.4) -- (2,0.4);

With the help of beamer's built-in column environment:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\setbeamercolor{block title}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=structure.fg!75!black}
\setbeamercolor{block body}{parent=normal text,use=block title,bg=block title.bg!10!bg}
\begin{document}

The problem seems to be the paracol inside the frame environment, which you can easily test by reducing your example to the minimal
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Intro}
\begin{paracol}{2}
A
\switchcolumn
B
\end{paracol}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
I do not know how to work around this with paracol ...

In order to produce citations and a bibliography you not only need to run LaTeX (that is your favourite flavour of LaTeX: pdflatex, lualatex, xelatex, ...) on your document: You also need to run a bibliography tool (normally either BibTeX or Biber). Why that is necessary and what the bibliography tools do is explained brilliantly in Question mark or bold ...
