You'll have to distribute avoidStruts over the onWorkspace commands.  
Try something like this (untested):

myLayoutHook = smartBorders
              . onWSAvoid   (myWorkspaces !! 0) (tiled |||   
simpleTabbed ||| Full)
              . onWSAvoid   (myWorkspaces !! 2) (tiled ||| Full |||   
simpleTabbed)
              . onWSAvoid   (myWorkspaces !! 3) (tiled2 |||   
simpleTabbed ||| Full)
              . onWorkspace (myWorkspaces !! 5) (Full ||| simpleTabbed  
||| Grid)
              . onWSAvoid   (myWorkspaces !! 8) (tiled3 ||| Full |||   
simpleTabbed)
              . avoidStruts
              $ (Full ||| simpleTabbed ||| Grid)
     where
       tiled = ResizableTall 1 (5/100) (40/100) []
       tiled2 = Mirror (Tall 1 (5/100) (30/100))
       tiled3 = withIM (11/64) (Role "gimp-toolbox") $ ResizableTall 2  
  (1/118) (11/20) [1] ||| Full
       onWSAvoid ws l = onWorkspace ws (avoidStruts l)

Remember to mod+shift+space on your evince workspace after you reload  
this config.

Can't help you here. Perhaps VLC uses a different fullscreening method  
than evince. But it sounded to me like you didn't actually want  
fullscreen'd evince anyway -- you still wanted them tiled when there  
was more than one.
