This is all doable. I like your ideas. One thing you could push a bit farther is having a dialogue between Locke and Celes about the resistance after the cave and have shadow offering to join up to Narshe (implying Narshe battle too) for an extra of money. You could (or not) disable shadow's leave probability after a random encounter. Having an optional character in Narshe Battle could maybe cause problems, maybe not. I have not looked at the technical details.
