Nice write up mate, lots of good points and a lot of frequently asked questions answered really well.
If you want to be pedantic, resistance is only 1 part of a speaker's impedance. In the frequency domain (ac, what is being output by the speaker) impedance takes into account not only resistance, but also capacitances, inductances etc, as well as phase differences. Its really not that important, and I wouldn't bother looking into it unless you like complex numbers, but try to stick to calling it impedance and not resistance if you want to be 100% correct in your terminology.
