each time I use %CALC% inside %IFDEFINEDTHEN% I get additional }% in page text

If I write code like this:

%CALC{"$SET(sys_webs, %FLEXWEBLIST{include="%BASEWEB%(/\w+)?" subwebs="only" separator=","}%)"}%

PREVLINE
%IFDEFINEDTHEN{"%CALC{"$GET(sys_webs)"}%"}%
not empty
%ELSEDEFINED%
empty
%FIDEFINED%

when I display this page - everything works ok. But when I include it - then things start to break. My output is:

PREVLINE"}% not empty 

Each time I include page with IFDEFINEDTHEN plugin - I get additional }% string in page text. And it's not connected with FLEXWEBLIST plugin - whatever I put inside sys_webs variable gets the same result.

You have to escape the % otherwise the parser cuts it improperly:

%CALC{"$SET(sys_webs, %FLEXWEBLIST{include="%BASEWEB%(/\w+)?" subwebs="only" separator=","}%)"}%
%IFDEFINEDTHEN{"%CALC{"$GET(sys_webs)"}%"}%

Will be parsed as:

%CALC{"$SET(sys_webs, %FLEXWEBLIST{include="%BASEWEB%(/\w+)?" subwebs="only" separator=","}%  here your CALC will end, and then it will print out the rest, so )"}%

. Same for your second example.

So, if you want to use some

%MACRO{ params }% inside another one, simply replace the % sign with $percnt, so:
<verbatim>
%CALC{"$SET(sys_webs, $percntFLEXWEBLIST{include="%BASEWEB%(/\w+)?" subwebs="only" separator=","}$percnt)"}%
%IFDEFINEDTHEN{"$percntCALC{"$GET(sys_webs)"}$percnt"}%
</verbatim>
And it should work.
