I found myself wondering the same thing. As I copied over {,u}mount I
thought to myself, "do I actually really need these?". Even as a user of
multiple partitions I mount them before I chroot in to the environment,
that way I have everything ready for creating the directories. I have to
create the mountpoints first though (var, tmp, usr, home), but this
isn't a big issue.
As for more I don't really consider it a necessity. If you need to view
something there's no reason you can't just pull up another terminal and
work from that; I constantly have to do this when I want to edit
something in a Makefile.
