2) Maybe that's how he learned to only have your own totem. The top could also be a remembrance of sort, so he can always have something from Mal even though she's dead.

3) :werd:

4) Hmm good point. If Saito died in Level 3, that may or may not have given him 30 years to age. Though the time stretch from Level 3 to Limbo was never explained. It was also implied that Cobb had been traveling for a long time in search of Saito, which is why he washed up all disheveled and stuff.

In the film's first memory of the kids, they're doing the exact same thing and wearing the same clothes as they did at the end. Could it be that Cobb never actually left Limbo? Because it would be impossible to have a memory at the start of something happening in the present.
