Why is the center weight on my grandfather clock going down faster than the other two weights?

the centre weight drives the actual time keeping mechanism of the clock. Obviously this operates non stop. The two other weights drive the chime and strike mechanisms. Since these are usually set to be silent during the night and therefore not being used as much, the central weight will require winding up the most.

Why is the left strike weight on my grandfather clock going down faster than other two weights?
One of the weights is for the hands to rotate and the other is for the chiming bells. they do different tasks. When I wind mine up after it has 'run out' it will often chime straight away but it will never tick till the pendulum is activated.

Why is it that two different substances that have the same masses can have differen weights?
Two different substances that have the same mass will also have the same weight if they are in the same location. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of a body (or substance). The force of gravity decreases the further you are from the center of the earth, so it is possible for two substances with the same mass to have different weights if they are at different distances from the center of the earth.
