I get a "public bitcoin address" & a "private key WIF" using the 8 words. No text box for adding a salt which just doesnt seem right. Assuming a a space, then a backslash, then another space, then the password after the 8 words will give me a "salted passphase/password combination" but thats definitley not how remember it.
Most brain wallet works in that way, no salt and only single SHA-256. IIRC only WarpWallet do it differently by having salt and many hash iteration.
Getting one letter wrong changes everything. Adding a backslash into the mix seems a bit ridiculous.
Yeah, that's how hashing works.
Highly likely this bitcoinpaperwallet.com site was used to make the printed copy of the wallet but fairly certain the original brainwallet site must have been used to generate the address. Not 100% certain but the way I remember it there was a text box for passphrase then in the next step a text box for password.

Is there a download on Github for the old brain wallet site. I'm trying to find it now.
