Wow, you posed some EXCELLENT questions!  My two knuts on the Secret 
Keeper question is that it might be physically difficult to be (or to 
become) a Secret Keeper, and Lily and James didn't want to endanger 
Dumbledore in any way.  (Any Robert Jordan Wheel of Time fans out 
there?  Oath rod?  That's what made me think of this.)

And, of course, the LOGICAL thing would be to just destroy the Stone. 
 But, that would be a very boring book!  Perhaps only the creator of 
the stone can destroy it, and Flamel wasn't ready to do that yet.  
Anyone else out there "know" anything about a philospher's stone?
