I want a 'b' with an arrow on top, enclosed in angle brackets.
\left<\overrightarrow{b}\right>
gives angle brackets which are far too high.
<\overrightarrow{b}>
gives far too much horizontal space between the brackets and the \overrightarrow{b}:
\left<\smash{\overrightarrow}\right>
makes that formula look good, but the upper end of the 'b' touches the line above.
So what I want is basically a \smash that only affects the brackets, but not e.g. line spacing. Is this possible?
Simply refer to .south east of the node, similar for other corners (.north west etc.).
\draw [->,thick] (S.south east) -- node {\small{$63$}} (I) ;
I'd argue that not only the middle vertical bar but also the outer parentheses are unnecessarily large. Try using \bigl(, \bigm|, and \bigr) to control the size of the symbols. As an extra nice touch, you could add a thinspace on either side of the big parentheses.

X_{1} \leq F_{1}^{(-1)}(q) \,\bigr)
\]

<and>are less than and greater than. If you use them where TeX expects delimiters (such as after\left, then you get angle brackets instead. I suspect what you want is justwhich produces
