1. Good point. And yes to the desert islander analogy.
8. Well, we in the audience don't quite know how much of a monster Joffrey is, and he keeps getting worse -- so it's hard to imagine Margaery (or Tywin) knowing. Tywin, ultimately, is safe for now because Joffrey surely must know that it is a lot of work to wage a war and work that he is ill-suited for; but when the war ends, well.... Margaery is in a lot more danger. The fact that she has gotten Joffrey deeply smitten will surely not protect her forever; right now she's...safe from him because he wants her but is kind of afraid of intimacy and hasn't yet decided that he can't have it with her. Once he moves past the current uncertain phase and picks a path she is likely to be in big trouble.
It occurred to me how big a risk Littlefinger took by sending Ros to Joffrey -- we don't know exactly how he, um, delivered her, but if she was at all alive (which I assume she was?) then she would almost certainly know something that Littlefinger wouldn't want told.
I forgot to mention, I think that line to Jaime about overplaying his ... position is probably the funniest this show has yet been. I guess they have poker in Westeros? Though, probably it's like poker but spelled differently.
