Regarding item 2, was the seatbelt sign on? I suspect it might have been if the doors were closed.
it was the more "flammable sign" 'proving' that the deo wasn't allowed to go with me (not the one person at a time - which was to approach bag conveyor thingy - not the x-ray machine).
yes, it was. but that wasn't her explanation (and later on others were able to use toilets after take-off but before sign is off). If she had said "seat belt is on, you can't use it", that would have been much more understandable than "doors are closed, you can't use the toilet now until we are airbone".
