Did I understand points 1) and 2) correctly? This script finishes a list of almost 640,000 entries in less then a minute (50sec), adding conditions 3) and 4) should be really easy. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use feature 'say';
use warnings;
use strict;

my $file = '/etc/dictionaries-common/words';
open my $IN, '<', $file or die "$!";
my %words;
while (my $word = <$IN>) {
    chomp $word;
    undef $words{$word};
}

for my $word (keys %words) {
    my $length = length $word;
    my %found;  # report each occurence just once
    for my $pos (0 .. $length - 1) {
        my $skip_itself = ! $pos;
        for my $len (1 .. $length - $pos - $skip_itself) {
            my $subword = substr($word, $pos, $len);
            next if exists $found{$subword};
            if (exists $words{$subword}) {
                say "$subword in $word";
                undef $found{$subword};
            }
        }
    }
}

Update: if I ommit the "just once" condition, the script finishes in 40 secs on my Mac Mini.
