DON'T rake the EWM. You will only spread it because it will grow individual plants from all the broken pieces that you leave in the pond.

The 2nd/3rd picture to me looks like Chara. Technically it is an algae. Take a handful, ball it up and roll it around in your hand, then smell it. The other name for it is skunkweed......

You can rake the Chara out, or treat it with Cutrine Plus granules. 40#/1/2 surface acre.
