So, as of 2018, a work needs to be published before 1923 and the author has to have died before 1948, right? I've noticed that many sites violate these rules. Are the sites which hold texts which violate these rules doing so illegally, or does this site just have very stringent copyright rules?

If it's a professional site, they should have "hosted with permission" or something to that effect. If it's a wiki or forum type place well, yeah I'd say we're probably one of the only big sites like that who even give a crap about copyright.

If the story isn't in public domain, should the author be credited while the actual story doesn't go into the Historical Archive/PD category?

I'm not precisely sure how copyright works, but it's best to err on the side of caution, and just credit the author in all cases. There really shouldn't be a reason not to give credit if you know who wrote it.
