I explained why I believed they were about Diane trying to assuage her guilt of ordering a hit on her ex-lover and her lack of general sucess in Hollywood (The "evil" monster who lives behind the "evil" cafe. The bumbling assassin. The "consiracy-theory" like dark forces pulling the strings behind the movie productions).

While you are probably right about some of them, I think there's also a few that were simply the beginnings of plot threads that would've been picked up in the series, but obviously couldn't develop in the movie. I am not sure about this, but I think I remember reading that a lot of it was already flimed (not just written) by the time they decided to make it into a movie, so that would explain why these loose ends weren't "cleaned up".
It's hard to see Diane thinking that the "bumbling assasin" was a hope for Camilla ; after all he ends up killing more people than he came there to kill. And she already has the key (I doubt that when she wakes up is the first time she finds it).
Scenes like the Winkie's diner, I think, are just really cool scenes that Lynch wanted to do, and while loaded with symbolism of all sorts, attempts to fit them into the reality of the movie (any of them) are likely to be contrived - even if they are Lynch's own. Incidentally, the impression I always got from the Winkie's scene was that it was about another aspect of the reality/unreality thread and the power of convictions and delusions. The "evil man" behind the dumpster doesn't seem to actually exist, other man (don't remember his name, if he had one) doesn't see him, or believe in his existance, but he's perfectly real to the man that <i>does</i> see him.
