As far as the CD strip marking, I would say that it is wrong. The .65 specifies how to do it but I'm sure you have a facility directive that specifies how it is to be done locally. If they are saying at or below and marking the strip with a hard altitude and you aren't able to get people to do it correctly then as the local controller I would just specify the altitude to maintain. Then you know you are in the clear.

For the second part, sure...if you assign a VFR aircraft an altitude contrary to the FAR part 91 then you have to tell them to "resume appropriate VFR altitudes".

With that said, FAR 91 says"...each person operating an aircraft under VFR in level cruising flight more than 3,000 feet above the surface shall maintain the appropriate altitude or flight level prescribed below...." A VFR aircraft below 3K is allowed any altitude they wish. If you assign 1500 to an aircraft then you don't have to tell them to resume appropriate VFR altitudes...just the “leaving ____ bravo airspace”, and the rest of the appropriate ending (i.e. “radar services terminated, squawk 1200", etc.)

yeah, that sounds right, thanks for clearing that up a bit.
