shlom lokh oH Andrew,
I agree on most of what you've said and especially on understanding the symbolisms, idioms, and culture of that time.
In regards to (2) "give" in this case is "TTLWN" and not "TLWN". The second person singular is "tetel" imperfect, and the second person plural is "tetloon" imperfect.
This looks very similar to "hang" which is different by a vowel in the second person singular of the imperfect.
