I don't have anything to say about your other questions (I'll come back if I think of something), but re: Lucifer and the Apocalypse, I wonder if Naomi tried to cripple Lucifer's plans by using Anna to kill Sam. She sent Anna back to Earth, which would explain how she "escaped" when "no one escapes," and kept Anna from remembering her like she did to Cass in Season 8 so that it would seem like Anna's own idea and Naomi wouldn't be punished if Anna got caught. Once Michael killed Anna for trying to kill the Winchesters, maybe Naomi realized it'd be better to let Michael have his way and so kept out of the rest of that nasty Apocalypse business until everybody higher-ranking than her was out of the picture (A.K.A. Season 8).
