Maybe she just likes the word honeymoon sonically. She likes the mix of the words 'honey' and 'moon' because 'honey' reminds her of a sunset in the morning and 'moon' reminds her of the night and she thinks that's interesting because night and morning are kinda the opposite of each other. Also she really likes the word 'moon' because it reminds her of space and she loves space and finds it way more interesting than feminism and just life in general.

To me all of this doesn't sound like rehearsal, more like random tracks playing. Am I deaf or something?

Yeah, I can imagine something like this:
Lana: "Let's do a new one!"
The public is going apeshit
Lana facing her band asking rhetorically: "We never did this one?"
Band: "No"
Lana singing an a capella "version" of LiB just 1 verse and the chorus
Lana laughing awkwardly to the public and sticking cutely her tong out
The first rows are going apeshit
Lana: "Let's do Carmen"

It's a little unclear exactly what period of time she was talking about that she didn't have much contact with her parents, but I'm skeptical of that claim. She also tends to downplay her family's financial situation. (See this previous post of mine for more detail.) That said, I've never seen anyone making the claim that her father bought her career or studio time present any evidence. It's completely speculation.
Oh, and the Miley thing? That's probably based on Hipster Runoff, ground zero for Lana mythology, miscaptioning this photo (probably knowingly and satirically) "OMG u got to hang out with Miley???!?! #jeal":
It's just a photo where her sis Chuck happens to look a bit like Hannah Montana. That photo is practically a microcosm of the LDR-as-daddy-bought-label-creation myth. You have Lana and Chuck hanging out with her modestly wealthy dad at a domain name industry convention with his two of his much, much wealthier buds from the domain name world. But in the hands of Hipster Runoff they are music "industry insiders". Even her dad is identified not as her dad but as "an 'industry insider', probably scheming to 'trick' the indie blogosphere." Sorry Carles, but you managed to do that perfectly well all by yourself.
The media narrative that LDR was a label creation funded by her dad is almost entirely mythical as is Lana's narrative that neither she nor her family had money. The truth is almost certainly much more boring than any of that.
This is basically another retread of the "outtake" question. "Intended for". Probably only Lana or maybe David Kahne can really answer that.
David Kahne has previously stated the only track he worked on with Lana besides what ended up on AKA was "C-Note", an alternate name for HDB, but after the album was finished.
The NKF tracks are rumored to be among the demos sent to Kahne to attract his interest in producing her and possibly fit the description of tracks recorded first with Steven Mertens and re-recorded with Kahne.
But we don't really know.

Honeymoond thread: "I want ______ 2.0!" "I can't wait for another ________!!!" "I hope there are more songs like ______"
Actually makes a song that sounds similar to previous ones: "wtf the lyrics are terrible" "this is so boring" "omg awful"

I really don't think Lana has what it takes to be a blues or jazz singer, honestly. Her live performances have never been very convincing to me, and some of her weakest moments have been when she tries to imitate a jazz singer (Million Dollar Man, I am staring at you). Her voice isn't really suited for it, she's not that great at ad-libbing live, she's not even really consistent with her live performances as they are now... I love her, but I dislike nearly all the live performances of hers I've looked up. She sounds nice in the studio, and I think that's where she's most comfortable. If she wants to imitate a jazz singer there, that's fine because she can do as many takes as she wants or take a break if she feels sick or whatever. But being a jazz singer live? I think the live aspect of jazz is pretty important, and Lana has never managed to impress me vocally live (there are some studio performances of hers that I'm iffy about).

Lana Del Rey is so boring, all her success is thanks to Cedric Gervais. I hope HoneyMoon is produced by him otherwise she can say goodbye to the made-up career her dad bought!!!!!!11111!
