4) in the clip, there are many reasons to suspect it's a flashback. Luna seems not to see Twilight at all, she seems to be speaking to Celestia who is supposed to be standing where Twilight is (it reminds me of Harry Potter visiting Dumbledore's memories in the Pensieve). What takes place matches perfectly with the book description from the very beginning of S1E1 (bringing eternal night - moon manipulation clearly seen in the clip, being angry about ponies sleeping during the night - she mentions "your precious light", a clear reference to that fact). One may wonder that Luna is jealous of Twilight being a new princess - but then why would she say "there can only be one princess and that will be me"? There would still be Celesta remaining.
