I always say this, 'The Secret' is good movie for introduction but a bad movie to follow. People who watch it simply assume that visualization and wo woo positive thinking is their work. THAT IS NOT SO!
Anyways, awesome questions...

You are assuming that loosing weight is an action journey. You do some action and result will be less weight. But everything in this vibrational universe is vibrational journey and for anything to change, it must change it's vibration.
Here is someone who is over weight and wanting to loose weight - tires a 100 things and looses some of it but gains back again. But here is someone who changes the thought or vibration behind it.
Now here is somehting important: You do not get fat necessarily coz you are thinking about being fat. You are getting fat (away from natural well being) because you don't like that person at work, you hate your ex, you hate that man next dore. Any negative thought, if prolonged, will cause such effects.
Now you change that by looking thins to appreciation. Making effort to feel better no matter what - all day every day. Now your carving subsides and your body returns to it's natural state of health as it is responding to yoru thoughts.

That would just be plain impossible, because of the scarcity of the resource “land”, which results in scarcity of the resource “house” – not enough space for building houses for all of us.

"What you believe is what you get". If you believe that there is finite amount of money that Law of Attraction will show you results that match that belief.
Just think about this, is the amount of money, today, same as it was in 1810? 1910? No! It's increasing - as more and more people are asking and increasing their 'awareness abundance. Money is not related to amount but mindset,

Don’t take me wrong: I appreciate the other way around, which is that if something does not materialize in the mind first, it will not be materialize in the outer reality either (for something to happen, I have to believe in it and make it happen in my mind first). However, I just don’t believe in the other part of the equation, as per point above…

Law of Gravity, has been overcome so many times. THat's how we reached the moon. If you really desire that apple to float and believe it can - you will find a way.
Remember, the idea of electricity and iPod was as absurd as this idea of floating apple is (some years ago) and now it's obvious. That's law of attraction a result of which is the law of gravitation.
Hope that helps.
