I performed the TEI from the Moon and I've noticed that PeD of Earth gradually increases under time acceleration, and thus a few course corrections are needed.
What causes that?

I'm a little confused (so what else is new). When I'm coming up on perapsis (365.3k), my apoapsis reads (412.9). Which is what I want. But when I get there, my periapsis is the same, but my apoapsis and my alt, read (403.6). What am I missing ? I'm flying a docked ship btw.

Aside of what was already told?
Not sure how the MFD measures the COG - if it is using the COG of your focus vessel and not the superstructure COG, you could really have a few km difference at apogee between prediction and true trajectory because of the common superstructure.
But more likely is, that something simply slowed you down on the way to Apoapsis... is the difference periodic, so, when you get back to periapsis, its about 365 again?
Yes, when I get back to periapsis, it is 365 and apoapsis is once again 412.
Makes HST rendezvous very difficult.
I keep aligning the plane at the nodes, and also adjust the Dtmin at the (what I thought I established as 412.9) apoapsis which is what the HST is at that point. The rendezvousMFD tool, which is great, can't be used with docked vessels. I will try to use it manually.
