"For us, point 1 is covered by ToU - Nemo"
But my understanding is Tou (7 g) is only applicable for Wikimedian who
contribute their own works. We have so many third party uploads and they
all must meet exact license terms.

So do we have a responsibility to
educate the contributors than misusing their
ignorance in such cases?
The three points you raise are legally untested in most countries and even
CC's FAQ is not legal advice. For us, point 1 is covered by ToU, but for 2
and 3 it would be inappropriate to have a ghost CC FAQ, while giving legal
advice is out of question.
The licensing tutorial shown by UploadWizard can certainly be improved in
some way, please propose tweaks: <https://commons.wikimedia.

In general however, rather than controversial edge cases, it's better to
focus the little licensing outreach we manage to have on the really crucial
aspects/mission, in particular how copyleft/-SA is the way while -NC and
-ND generally do the opposite of what folks expect.
