Regarding default items in toolbar. I don't think that "New" and "Open" should be there. It is not something you use often. You open the document or create a new one and you are working on that document. So most of the time, these two items are useless. On the other hand, clicking on the "File" -> "New" or "Open" does not involve two many steps.
The missing icon is PDF (dialog with "where to export" appears after clicking, which is different than File -> Export to PDF). That is something LibreOffice user have to use very often when sending files to others since ODT is not standard everywhere yet and it allows us to send document as designed in LibreOffice.
My recommendation is to rearrange font text items as well: Style, Font, Size, Bold/ Italic/ underline and then Alignment. This was standard order in LibreOffice so far as well as in other programs.
And about this discussion of large vs. small icon size. Large icons provide better visual appearance so I think it should be default size regardless of monitor size/ resolution. The other argument that goes for large icon size is easier clicking. When icons are small, user have to be very precise in order to select the icon. "16px" is two times smaller place than "32px" which means that you have to be very patient with the mouse.
