I hope you're not using a 16mil backbox? :)
 
Sorry peach is grey hahahaha

That looks correct (except for the cable colours!!)

I take it if your looping at switches COM is always for 1 way and L1/L2 for 2 way
Sorry not done much looping at switches
Yes, when wiring switches whether you are looping at the switch or not, for that particular method the switch terminals (C L1 L2) will have the same functions (L or SL or strapper).
If you are looping at the switch then the neutral will be jointed in the switch box but not at the switch terminals.
