How to translate mean aggregation vega-lite grammar to vega-lite-api code

I was trying to learn vega-lite-api. I came across this vega-lite example:

{
  "data": {"url": "data/cars.json"},
  "mark": "bar",
  "encoding": {
    "x": {"field": "Cylinders"},
    "y": {"aggregate": "mean", "field": "Acceleration"}
  }
}

It outputs:

I tried to translate it to vega-lite-api code:

Now, I am unable to figure out how can I translate this vega-lite grammar to vega-lite-api code.

Update

Now I realize, the data shown by the same graphs is same. So the output is definitely correct. I started up without aggregation (as you can see in the observable notebook) which also had similar thin bar charts. Now after adding aggregation, I was expecting the exact visualization (at least bar widths). They are exact in terms of data / height, but same width with non aggregated one tricked me in thinking that it did not change.

Now I have following doubts:

Q1. Why the bars are thinner and not wider as in case of doc’s visualization ?

Q2. Why there is difference between scales? Does vega-lite-api defines different default scale configuration than vega-lite?

Q3. Also I have specified grammar inside vl(). How do I do it with “corresponding” api using aggregate()?
