Brian,
Multiple eggs in one cells sounds like one of two things. Either your queen is getting a little jumpy or you have a laying worker. It seems like you were unsure about the status of the brood formations too, which leads me to believe that you have a laying worker. The brood of a laying worker is raised as you described it in the first post. Check to see if you indeed still have a queen. You won't be able to drop in a frame to see if the draw out queen cells because of the laying worker. Usually with a laying worker they won't draw any out. If you do have a queen, you could add a couple of frames of brood and then switch the location of the hive with a strong one on a warm sunny day. Wait a while and see what happens, perhaps she is a dud. Everything that you said though sounds like a laying worker.
