Here are some pics, taken this afternoon, after the first cut:

I barely got 1/3 of a grassbox full!

What should I do about the patchy areas - reseed or wait?

I'd give them another week; but it doesn't look promising if the
rest
has grown to 2".

Why does the patchiness occur?

Could be a lot of things; but I'd guess that bits of your new lawn
may have dried out more than others during the germination of your
seed -- unless the seed was spread very patchily in the first place.
If either is the case, no problem: just scratch in some more next
weekend, and it'll catch up.
