Here are a few more questions that have bothered me upon further viewing.
How does Bond know who Greene is? During the boat chase?
Camille: Are You One of Greene's?
Bond: DOMINIC GREENE!?
It's like Bond has heard of him before, and that he's well known to him. But he then goes and asks for a name check. Bond really doesn't meet Greene until the Tosca.
Bond has many clues as to Greene's identity before they ever meet in person:
1. He knows that Slate is tied to Mitchell and Le Chiffre via the tagged bills, which is why he goes to Haiti. After he arrives and kills Slate, he discovers that Slate was working for someone in a plan to kill Camille, so he connects the dots. When he meets Camille, his radar is already on to find out who that is, and what her connection is.
2. Camille stops him out on the street, where he sees "Greene Planet" on the side panels of her car. She asks him if Dominic gave him any trouble. He says no. On opening the briefcase, it becomes very clear that someone wants Camille dead. Camille shoots at him, and he gets out of her car.
3. Bond follows Camille to the docks. He hands his "business card" to the guard at the gate, who promptly hands it over to Elvis, who then calls the number on the card. "Greene Planet" immediately comes up on Bond's cellphone, and he is able to begin tracking Greene. So when Bond grabs Camille on the boat, he already has enough information to grill her on who she's working for, whether it's Dominic Greene or someone else, etc.
And...
Is Bond in Bregenz when M calls him? Because she says "You killed a man in Bregenz", it sounds as if he's somewhere else and not in Bregenz. If he was, she would just probably say "You killed a man" or ""You killed a man at the Tosca!".
I'm not sure I get that complaint. They've traced his location to Bregenz, and so of course that's what M would say. She would be specific about the location because she has information that Bond has killed other men in other locations, as well. Also, she intends to make it clear that this particular man was guarding Haines and so worked for the government, so there will be no confusion for Bond as to which man she's talking about (though apparently M doesn't know about the man in the washroom, etc.). I can't see her dithering on about the opera in all of that.
