Well, regarding Jane Foster, you could be right, but I don't think so, since part of the dynamic the movie is setting up is Thor having close ties to earth and wanting to spend a significant chunk of his time there. Jane Foster has to be a part of that, since it has to be more than Thor just doing his duty as a hero.
The studio was obviously very pleased with the early stuff on earth leading up to Thor failing to lift the hammer, as they featured this heavily when screening scenes at conventions and releasing early clips. But it could be that the humble Thor/romance with Jane stuff just didn't really work all that well to begin with. Hence it was cut. Better that it feel a little rushed than for it to be boring. Or maybe they just got a little carried away with the editing.
In any event, I expect Jane to be a big part of any (hypothetical) sequel. At worst I guess she might be recast, if Marvel thinks NP is too expensive. But in the case of a love interest I think that is not that likely.
