You can interpret it as that as well, besides it shortens the explanation. Plus, IIRC, Kabuto didn't know of Tobi's plan in details, they found enough that he wants to take over the world using the Jyubi and So6p's power, it seems.
It's Oro, you never know. Then again Oro have somewhat lost attachment to the living world and now only needs Sasuke to complete his goal, but perhaps Sasuke himself might do it for Oro, seeing as Oro reacts to Sasuke now.
He never was able to produce a complete soulless clone of Hashirama (Kabuto calls Tenzou/Yamato a clone of Hashirama, which means that they weren't able to go much further than that), not to mention to mass-produce Zetsu, which that soulless clone is needed. Of course, the usage of the Jyubi's body in creating clones, might have been the key, since it probably retained some of it's creation powers.
Wood ? Which wood, the floor ? The tablet is made of stone, it's that thing that stands on that altar (not that picture than hangs on the wall). It is even called the stone tablet, IIRC. It even seems that the Uzumaki might have had something similar (like the missing sentences being sealed within the stone, or a some symbol on it). I'm a little interested in the big stone tablet that Itachi found in some strange tropical-like(?) bushes, or rather, now that I look at it, a portion of it is missing and it seems to be the size of the Uchiha's stone tablet... then again, the text seems to be positioned differently... then again, we don't know how positioned the hidden text is (it might have been camouflaged with genjutsu, or something similar since only certain doujutsu can see what is written there).
