When I generate a contact, I can see from the GiD drawing that the geometry contains double points and lines, but I cannot see that the nodes are double when the mesh drawing is selected. Is there a way to see this on the sheet?

Your nodes are really preserving the geometry topology, they are duplicated.
you can check for example listing them,
or drawing higherenties of mesh edges: View->Higherentities->Edges (in mesh view)
The problem is probably a secondary effect of the rendering of the font ‘smoothed’ for the text of your labels
Utilities->Preferences->Fonts - Render mode = “sharp edges” of some kind of “smooth edges”
With ‘smooth edges’ the text looks better, more anti-aliased, etc. but as drawback labels on the same location are hiding ones to others, then I prefer to set ‘sharp edges’, it looks a little worst but its ‘transparency’ provide an important information of duplicated entities.
Compare this examples with ‘sharp edges’ vs 'Smoother edges 2" (labels font size set too big to 30)
