I watched the movie and, because of how it was presented, I came to the conclusion those three revelations did happen at once. I'd like to see some reasoning as to why it didn't.
Susan's conversation in the car after the abortion
Her: I just don't think I'm ever going to be able to look at Edward again after what I did to his child.
Him: He'll never find out.
Ok, so let's look at that.
They didn't know Edward was there when this conversation was happening. If Edward knew before that moment, how is it possible that he wouldn't ever find out about the abortion? How can her new man even believe Edward would never know about the abortion if Edward knew about the pregnancy? Was he going to give advice like, 'tell Edward you had the baby but he can't ever talk to her or see pictures or be involved at all in her life?'
He didn't know she was pregnant before that moment. The same moment he found out she aborted the baby.
And, Susan IS irredeemable. Even at the end, as this married woman is dressing sexy for her reunion/date with her ex-husband, she makes a point to slip off her wedding ring.

Yes I thought that at first, but then thought i`t were a bit odd if he was the only one who was the same person as in real life. However after she called her daughter it was no question about that the whole story had symbolic and metaphorical values from their relationship and break up. Also seeing how old her daughter was they definitely had a child during their marriage, which also kinda confirmed the values of the story.

I don't agree with most of what you assert.
Some people over think and go off the deep end.

He has lung cancer right? So, I think he went to get rid of the body and to do that he may have started digging a hole and he may have died or too sick to get up that hole.

given them a fighting chance at least
Gives Tony a fighting chance to accidentally shoot his wife or daughter.
Yesterday an ex-marine neighbor of mine accidentally shot off part of his penis while holstering his gun. Just like Dick Cheney and his hunting accident, this kind of stuff happens all the time with idiot gun-owners, who are 34 time more likely to kill a family member than a criminal with their weapon.

I've little doubt you got it right with everything until your second from last paragraph. I think the revenge stuff is no more than a red herring, and Edward's dinner no-show is caused by a serious illness (Bobby's cancer/Tony's accidental death=Edward's true condition).

I think Susan's reaction makes the scene.

Then maybe at first she was playing the woman in the book, and then they reshot with Isla Fischer?
