How did Ed raise the iron bars after shooting that person in the vault?
He destroyed the control panel with a gunshot (yeah, logic and games...), resulting in the opening of the entrance.
What concerned me more was the fact that he should have been trapped, after Ray hitting the button to shut everything down, including strong metallic protection wall, but escaped somehow?

Well, one of quite a few plot holes, nothing too bad of course, but still distracting for those of us paying attention very closely.
This is not a plot hole, it is just an unexplained event. We see him trapped with seemingly no obvious way out, but nothing in the game specifically shows or states that there is no chance of escape.

Personally I imagine he MacGuyvered his way out of the room using a chewing gum (for insulation), a shirt button (to unscrew a hidden maintenance hatch, of course) and the sharpened end of his glasses to manipulate the circuit board to get two of the bars to raise half way so that he could squeeze himself out of there.

I would have loved to see that :D.

I do think there is a plot hole involved, in that Ray and Bennet don't even think it's possible that Ed could still be trapped in the lab where they left him. They assume he escaped and needs to be tracked down, which doesn't make sense.
