 > Why would I want to reply to a comment that is pending approval, still
 hidden, and not even fully displayed to me?

 When you reply to the unapproved comment, you actually Approve & Reply:

 > Why can't I see the whole comment? It only shows me an excerpt here, and
 in order to actually read the comment I have to click over to Comments on
 the admin menu and find what I'm looking for manually.

 Would a "View" link do the job here?

 > Why does the most prominent link for the comment take me to the post
 editing screen? When is this ever useful?

 Including a link to the post that is the source of the comment is done
 throughout wp-admin.  I have never used the post edit links from within
 the Recent Comments Dashboard widget (or even the Comments List Table),
 but someone must find them useful.

 > Why is the post link displayed as a tiny little "#"?

 Would "View Post" text like we have in the Comments List Table work here?
 Example: https://cloudup.com/crh01cgfY73  I wonder if that would be too
 busy.
