1) Yes

2) I realized I was wrong and, if you'll look, edited my statement, removing that point. I also included a link to the calculator I was talking about having used at the end there. If I made a mistake in my 'calculations', it's just the choice of online calculator to plug info into...

3) Yes. Exactly. And that's fine, as long as you're punching skin and muscle, but you don't often get to the point where you can punch a person's heart. If you could, that'd do way more damage and have more capacity to be fatal than a punch on the arm of the same force.

4) there are a couple calculators online, and that's all I used. I linked the one I used in my above statement as an edit, actually.

5) Yes. But what I'm saying is that scaling the blast from the Celica (which, presumably uses very little Fire Dust) to the blast from Roman (which should, as you just stated, be FAR more than twice as powerful because there's more Dust to react and Roman's shots explode) looks about 1 and a half times more powerful, as opposed to the many times more powerful that you would assume (Grenade from the cane plus more than 5X more dust to react)

6) From which scenes (episodes and rough time stamps, please; I want to see for myself) are you basing that? Also, keep in mind, Yang may have 3 factors to any given punch; the two we've considered (her strength and the blast of the Dust itself), but also the blast used to propel that dust round out. That blast from Firing the Celica is, as we've seen, strong enough to fling her around, as she uses it in her landing strategy. So that's two explosions (or maybe 1 and a half if you don't count the gunshot blast) and a punch vs just one explosion. Seems pretty lopsided, don't you think?
