Luxurious' Mansion:
You cannot open his chest unless you convince Tom to cut off his finger. You can present his finger in place of Luxurious' thug and he will reward you with the contents of the chest. If you do not chose this path you can still rest easy that you are not missing any set items. The chest only contains random root.


Rue Lanilor:
After you have the pixie dust concoction, go to the prince's room. You should notice the dead guard by the door. Use the vile to reveal a hidden trap door underneath the bed.


Perfume flower:
After pulling a lever to reveal a ladder, you should climb the new lowered ladder and look across the room for a platform to jump to. Some platforms may appear too distant, however they are reachable


Monk:
Killing the monk is not necessary. However, you must mindread the troll at every opportunity. What he says appears to be latin gibberish. However, that should raise some flags since no other mindread results in non-native language (in your case probably English) text. The latin phrase is actually a spell. You can instruct the monk to use the spell and he will remain alive to help you during your fight with the Engineer.


5th clue:
You need to solve the riddle of the runes. Find all pull all those levers. Then use answer the questions asked by the dragon statue. If you're too lazy: [spoiler](left to right) - 1) Cat 2) Totem 3) Totem 4) Maxxos 5) Cat
[/spoiler]

I cannot speak for Larian, but I can answer questions based on how most games are coded. You cannot jump for certain environments such as your balcony because game treats the interior throne room and other platforms as separate maps. Its the same reason you have loading screens when entering dungeons. The game does not have a transparent loading system that would allow you do bridge different zones.
