I tested your code and the default values are being displayed correctly.
Doing a var_dump($_REQUEST); shows what's the problem with the update message, we have to check simpy for $_REQUEST['settings-updated'].

You can remove the is_admin() checking, as admin_init and admin_menu only run on admin.

The validation function should be something like this, validating each input field and returning a clean array with sanitized values:

function xyz_validate_options( $input ) {
    $new_input = array();
    if( isset( $input['facebook'] ) )
        $new_input['facebook'] = esc_url( $input['facebook'] );
    if( isset( $input['footer_copyright'] ) )
        $new_input['footer_copyright'] = esc_attr( $input['footer_copyright'] );
    return $new_input;
}
