use #'extra-offset or #'padding. (as an alternative you could also add an  
invisible voice and attach the fret diagrams to the invisible notes in  
that voice)

to add chord names, use ChordNames instead of a 2nd markup. See section  
"Printing Chord Names" in the manual. use extra-offset to adjust the  
position of the chord names too.

e.g:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.6.0"

harmonies = \chordmode
{
   \override ChordNames.ChordName #'extra-offset = #'(10 . 0)
   r8 b4.:13
}

\score
{
   <<
      \context ChordNames \harmonies
      \context Staff
      {
        \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(10 . 0)
	 a8 b4.~^\markup { \fret-diagram  #"6-x;5-2;4-4;3-2;2-2;1-4;"  } b4. a8
      }
   >>
}

%%%%%% EOF %%%%%%

you can customize the chord names notation to your taste (see  
chordNameExceptions in the regression tests).

greetings,

Vincent
