As a candidate, I am of course not the one who decides what questions get asked, but I will share my opinion on some of your points:

One (about rebranding) has been included in the list, one is basically a follow up to another question (commitment on not taking paid positions), while the other two are: * How should the Foundation treat foundation-run projects that incur a high amount of on-wiki opposition? * Should there be a waiting period between the time a Board member leaves the Board, and they take on an employee, consultant, or other paid role with the Foundation? I imagine that these are the questions you are referring to. They seem to me meaningful questions, that could fit in the official list. Personally I have no objections to longer list of questions. I actually expected it to be longer in the first place (say, 20 questions). At the same time, I understand that the Election Committee wants to have the same set of questions for everyone, and to keep the time commitment under control. I wouldn't want my willingness to answer to go against their efforts.
