** In universe the upper left area at the front of the building is meant to be living space for Neville and Lydia's immediate family away from the function rooms. It has easy access to the parlor, dressing room, and sitting room in case they're going out or entertaining guests who have just arrived but otherwise the functional spaces like dinning rooms or hobby rooms are set away from them allowing the servants to move about tidying at night without bothering the family. Keep in kind the Mansion is an illusion designed to suit the tastes of the residents so it's built to an older style favored by wealthy families.

** According to a YouTube video about the game’s beta stages, there were early versions of the map that had doors connecting Area 1 and Area 3. As for why they were removed… Maybe they thought it would better suit the game’s mood to have you running back and forth through the empty hallways every so often. Maybe they wanted to give you an excuse to re-examine previous areas for things you missed. Maybe they thought it wouldn’t make sense for the ghosts to make it easier for Luigi to get around. Or maybe they just wanted to pad out the length of the game a bit, seeing as it’s only a few hours long.

** With the shortcut near the rec room, it takes less than half a minute to get from the mansion entrance to Area 3. And the Boos in that area don’t have that much health, and don’t tend to flee back into Area 1 all too often. They probably just didn’t think it necessary to add in another shortcut.

** Boos could be something like Poes in the Legend of Zelda games. Those are said to be concentrated spirits of malice rather than the souls of actual deceased people.
