5. Inflation of the supraorbital region in large
theropods helped the postorbital withstand the
stresses of the temporal muscles by locking it more
firmly to the frontal, prefrontal, and lacrimal?

Probably unlikely, since the postorbital doesn't
contribute to the supratemporal fenestra much, but I
thought I'd ask anyway. I favor the 2nd half of #2,
personally.
