Your first patch, at least, applies to the new CTree-based code, with
some hand tweaking; the right mouse button doesn't close the current
tree item in a CTree, so that behavior is gone.

I'm not sure which items you classified as "top-level tree items" in
the first paragraph, but the right button appears to pop up the menu
everywhere in the CTree-based code.

I've attached "cvs diff -c" output for the result of applying the first
patch + hand-tweaking to the current CVS tree (which is also the 0.8.0
tree).
