Pausing should be in the hand of the active player.
Depending on the type of game you might or might not want to allow the player to quit during someone else's turn.
It helps in notifying the current person if he needs to change his strategy based on that decision, rather than taking all the measures only to find out that his target quit.
However, if you ...

Only the currently active player should be able to pause the game, to prevent any other people interfering with their turn.
If quitting brings up a menu that can interrupt the player whose turn it is, then only the currently active player should be able to quit the game. If that isn't the case, then any player should be able to quit the game.
What is ...

I would say the controller of the currently active player - all of the other players are 'paused' anyway.
Also, when Bob is about to cream Joe, Jane and John, it means that Joe, Jane and John can't rage quit as easily - or make it a pain for Bob to win by constantly bringing up the pause menu.

Each green box represents a value (10 in this case)

Its better to keep the width of both energy levels the same as you have shown in the first model. You can try something like that

Have you thought about different colours?
It's for a game, so if it fits in the theme of the game, have a blue bar for basic health and a green one for the next tier. When the green one is gone, the blue one appears - FULL. If you preferred, you could have a line, with a number beside it, to show how MANY lines you can deplete.

The easiest way is to display just numbers.
In your drawings we can compare two sizes because there are two bars. But in your game, if the bar is going to stand by itself, no one is going to remember what was the size before. So its lenght is not going to give the player any kind of information.
No matter what the length of the video, the bar is always ...
