*** Another piece of subtext is that it's very important not to underestimate Quarrel. His cover is that of a lazy tourist boat operator, but the CIA/MI6 don't hand out the kind of hardware contained in his boat to just anyone. He's very knowledgeable about the island and its people (presumably including the Obeah beliefs), and on top of that he's very observant - when Rosie pulls her gun on him, he immediately notices that she's left the safety catch on and is therefore not an immediate threat. The implication is that he's not just an agent, he's a very good one.

** It's ambiguous as to whether Strutter was assassinated or not - we don't explicitly see him getting stabbed, but we do see the assassin sidle up to him and the music changing as it did before once the hit was complete. We don't see Strutter at any later point in the story.

*** No direct indication, however there's at least some subtext going on there. When getting changed, Rosie accidentally exposes Quarrel's (powerful) communications equipment - he's definitely capable of getting in direct (and clandestine) touch with Felix Leiter when he needs to. Bear in mind that the only person who claims Rosie works for Felix is Rosie herself. Bond appears to take her at her word, but the very first thing he does the following day is take Rosie on Quarrel's boat to scout Kananga's headquarters, and it's clear that Bond and Quarrel are discussing Rosie ("As I was saying, Quarrel, a lousy agent...") when she's down below - one interpretation would be that Bond was playing along with Rosie while at the same time trying to find out via Quarrel if she was legit.

*** If Bond's secondary purpose in taking Quarrel's boat was indeed to check Rosie's credentials with Felix Leiter, Quarrel would have to find a way to notify Bond that Rosie was working for Kananga without arousing Rosie's (or Kananga's) suspicion. Using the tarot card in such a specific way was a pretty perfect way of doing it.
*** At this early point in the story, Solitaire is still very much caught in the middle - she may have doubts about Kananga, but she doesn't trust Bond yet either.

** From a practical effects standpoint, it's not hard to imagine that the assassinated actor grabs part of the inside of the casket and when the casket is picked up, he goes with it. In fact, if you look carefully, there appears to be some internal pendulum action when the casket is lifted, indicating the actor hanging on inside and the likelihood that this was done in one shot, rather than using a camera cut.

* Why didn't Agent Harry Strutter get assassinated outside the Fillet of Soul in New Orleans? The staff knew Strutter's name to lure him away from the table while they captured Bond, so it's safe to assume they knew who he was.
** The hit was probably called off with a signal from the assassin once the gang was aware Bond would shortly be on site, in order to lure him inside.

**** The meaning of that particular card has nothing to do with her powers- regardless of whether she or Samedi or whoever sent it, the person only had to know that an upside-down Queen of Cups indicates that you are dealing with a liar and a cheat, and if a Tarot Card shopkeeper knows then Solitaire, Samedi, Kananga himself and any number of people with a decent enough knowledge of Tarot cards probably knows too. It's likely that it was indeed Solitaire, but Samedi is still possible, especially since the final scene is meant to hint that he really was '''THE''' Baron Samedi and not just some impostor.
