Prayer

I pray on the side and slightly behind my brothers as there is not much space and we pray individually. Not completely behind them a little like 1/3rd below them. If I go all the way back it gets really hot as there is no fan at the back and it gets difficult for me to concentrate in Salah. Is this permissable?

If one gets thoughts in his prayer that are taking his mind away from the actually prayer’s parts like tasbeeh and the surahs one reads, but such thoughts are about Islam like the Seerah or the story of the companions, is it disrespectful to Islam or kufr if he seeks refuge in Allah from Satan and spits 3 times to his left as he would normally do with distractive thoughts?
