Answer

I’m writing a report comparing household expenditures in different countries.
Housekeeping/homekeeping (No)
Possibly you could say “family expenditures/spending” or “per family expenditures/spending” 
And if you have clearly defined the metric and it wouldn’t be confusing, you probably don’t have to repeat the full label and can just use “spending” in places.

And even though it might sound awkward to keep repeating a label, it is better to be awkward than unclear.

Answer

household bills/ budget/ expenditure/ expenses/ income!

Answer

Theree is a good tesaurus on www.thefreedictionary.com

Answer

I don't have suggestions, but "housekeeping" generally means cleaning/tidying. So "housekeeping expenses" would refer to something like maid services and not rent/mortgage/insurance/maintenance/groceries/utilities/etc.
