Wonderful character study! Agree with all of it, Lois was a layered character from the get go and if anything, the writers not being able to use her much worked in her favour (despite Season 7, lol).
She is very good at reading people, giving a confused Clark a journal in s5, because even if she didn't know he had powers, she could sense that he was bottling things up.
I like your analysis here - adds another layer to why Clark was so surprised at the end of the episode when he realises she knows him better than anybody. And I love that scene for so many reasons. Clark's face when Lois says she's had multiple exes put under military surveillance, the way she doesn't get put off by his initial reaction and most importantly, the fact that he actually listens to her and finds comfort in what she was saying. It's quintessential Lois Lane!
