Is it normal for the speedbrakes to retract in a situation like this? and I see 1 spoiler panel up?

With the engines off there is no hydraulic power, spoilers are deployed with hydraulic power, so they should be stowed. As for the one spoiler that is partially deployed there could be any number of reasions with damage to the input system the most likely.
