Sorry, my wi-fi comes and goes, it's frustrating.
1) It can be ambiguous, you know. And not only a mother. Maybe you can't conceive it as that, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I already said that he's too insecure about Sakura. Everything that he has seen was Sakura ----> Sasuke at his eyes, and that was openly declared. And Sakura's actions are ambiguous too. He can do that one or two times, then she's pushing him away. Tsundere or not, Naruto takes everything literally. I would never take such actions as a hint in real life. There is a lot of reasons that can justify them, and i don't want to look like an idiot if that wasn't the case.
In psychology, bad moments are more heavy than happy moments. For ourselves, bad things can justify everything, and even if there where more "good things", the existence of those "bad things" deny them in our minds.
2)Yeah, but you don't understand. Naruto has now that reasons that you mentioned. That's why he's chasing him even more. But that's doesn't mean the promise doesn't mean nothing anymore. He can't confess because the promise itself is important for him to demonstrate that he can keep promises. That he can keep promises to her. We will not confess until he's capable to do this. The promise is about demonstrating being at least worthy for her, but not anymore the reason why he keep chasing Sasuke. I hope you understand the difference.
3)No. Sai says that Sakura, indeed, loves Sasuke. But he loves Naruto too and he chooses Naruto over Sasuke, now that Sasuke is "evil", deciding to kill Sasuke herself for Naruto's sake.
4) Sakura said "If you don't like me, just say it!". Naruto thinking after saying the girlfriend comment is more for reasure her, remind her (and NH fans :v) that he likes her. Nothing more, nothing less. When Naruto said this a lot of times before, he didn't stop to think or tried to be precise. He called her his girlfriend because he liked her. Reasons are different, but the meaning is the same.
5)Oh, yeah, he is way more focused on, idk, the end of the world? Sasuke treating to kill all the Kages? He's not Hinata. He has priorities. The love of your life is important, but there are things that are more urgent. I already said, he will not confess until he feels worthy, and that's keeping his promise. But then, Sasuke will not longer be "evil", the reason that he believes she choosed him. So, this will be the real scenary when he will see if Sakura loves him more, because he doesn't want to be "the second option".

Yes, it's flirting, but he doesn't understand flirting, he takes everything literally and she's always ambiguous. So, he will hear what she says, but he can't read her intentions.

That stinks, hope it gets better

Feeding somebody can be ambiguous? I'm pretty sure that two adults feeding each other is considered intimate no matter what country your from. Besides despite the supposed "She only loves Sasuke focus" Naruto yells at Sai right after he interrupts Sakura's advances telling him to read the situation. In other words that was him chastising Sai for seeing it as a friendly act. That sequence between Naruto and Sakura was not friendly flirting, that was intimate flirting. Besides, Sakura knows how Naruto feels. She's known it every since the original POAL.

This doesn't apply to fiction. Naruto is at the whim of Kishimoto who is not a ninja who lost his parents to a Nine-tailed Demon Fox. Stick to the manga.

When she said that he shouldn't chase Sasuke bc of her promise, Naruto answered that it wasn't about her promise anymore twice. He doesn't care about the POAL. In part 1 the promise was constantly referenced in flashbacks while he fought Sasuke and later on when she came to him in the hospital before he left with Jiraiya. However in the Land of Iron Arc Naruto rarely even brings it up. He doesn't talk or think about it during his fight with Sasuke, and he denies its impact on him twice. And while I understand your angle with the promise he was released from the promise anyway. He doesn't care about it anymore. "He looks so peaceful, as if a burden has been lifted from his shoulders."

Except that is not what he says. He says that she chose Naruto to try to free him of the POAL and hide the fact that they were going to kill Sasuke because of the pain it would cause him. However Naruto denies both the POAL and her confession. Than Sai steps in,. He explains Sakura's confession not because he thinks that she loves Naruto, but he feels responsible for guilting Sakura earlier on. And he openly says that Sakura still loves Sasuke and that is why she is trying to kill him. Sakura does all of this bc of Sai Guilting her into it and bc of the pain she believes she is causing Naruto. There's no proof that she loves him and after comparing that confession to her confession to Sasuke and her thoughts and feelings when confronting Sasuke in the Land of Iron I don't think that Sai was insinuating that she loves Naruto.
4) Sakura said "If you don't like me, just say it!". Naruto thinking after saying the girlfriend comment is more for reasure her, remind her (and NH fans :v) that he likes her. Nothing more, nothing less. When Naruto said this a lot of times before, he didn't stop to think or tried to be precise. He called her his girlfriend because he liked her. Reasons are different, but the meaning is the same.
But this means nothing bc he has already called her his girlfriend in the past jokingly. It doesn't mean that they are in a relationship or that he may still have feelings for her. And it certainly doesn't mean he's considering a relationship, its not concrete enough. Besides, isn't it kind of immature to reject a girl and then call her your boyfriend. Where's the class?
As for the girlfriend comment, look at his face. He hesitated bc he knows that if he says it he's about to get pounded. Notice also that Naruto did not bring up the subject, Minato did.

He had time though, time in between the Land of Iron Arc and the World War Arc to talk to Sakura and he had over 200 chapters to settle the score with Hinata. Besides he was released from the promise after the Land of Iron Arc. That doesn't factor in anymore. Heck, I don't think the POAL has even come up since the Land of Iron Arc.
