I have pushed a patch that should go in the right direction. See below.

Fixed.

This is the intended behavior.

Fixed. It's the same as the first case, as org-indent-mode sets
org-adapt-indentation to nil.

Operations are not symmetric because lists and headlines are not
equivalent objects.

Fixed.
Please report back if something is still wrong. Thank you.
