Real talk, once you level your bed, you should not be using a Z-Offset. The first layer of the print should be above the bed by a very small amount. For example, I use a feeler gauge with a thickness of 0.1mm. This position will read as 0 on the z-height. It is a little weird as it truly isn't at 0mm.
This small manual offset must exist when printing, do not print with your nozzle at the print bed. Doing, this creates back pressure and your extruder will begin to skip steps. You need that small amount of space so the filament can flow from the nozzle to the bed.
The issue with your Z-Axis height is with the DRV8825 driver you see on the very top. That driver turns the motor at 1/32th of a step compared to the A4982 which runs at 1/16th. So your observation that the Z axis is only moving half the distance is 100% spot on.. To change this you can use a different driver, or change the e-steps in your firmware to 8000.
