How does the game behave when the currently equipped orb is replaced with its bracelet? I was watching NintendoCapriSun's Let's Play and this happened to him with the Orb of Water/Bracelet of Blizzard, and it appeared to act as though all orbs were equipped.

What you see here is the same effect as the sword charge glitch. That is, your sword charge level only changes when you leave the menu so it can be out of sync with the actual items you have equipped. In TAS and speedruns this gets used to retain a higher charge level after switching swords. But this case it prevents your charge level from going up.

1) Is Level 3 Charge needed to progress at any point, or is it simply something that makes boss fights faster? 2) If Level 3 Charges are not needed to progress, could this be used to reduce how many items you need to change around when changing items? It looked like NCS was able to switch swords without losing the glitched All Orbs state (which from what I'm reading, switching swords should end the glitched state since you're entering a menu?)

No, you don't need the level 3 attacks for progression at all. That's why the bracelets get skipped to save time. From what I see in that video, he has the bracelets for all his swords but doesn't equip them. When you have the bracelet but don't equip it like this you get level 2 - not a glitch at all. Sure, that might simplify some menuing but there is no way it saves time overall.
