No, that's too narrow. You could say that man is free to sin to the extent it does not thwart God's will. I would agree to that, whether committed by the saved or lost. For example, if God has a specific plan for me to accomplish His will tomorrow, then no one is "free" to murder me as I type this. Naturally, I really really hope that God has a specific plan for me tomorrow. :)
Either God wills that all men be saved or He does not. If He does not, then the verses which explicitly say that He does are wrong (see posting above).
He does not so will, or else it would be done. The verses you quoted are not wrong at all, they are just misinterpreted. What is one foundation that we start with? That God is all powerful. The Bible is clear over and over again that our God is all powerful. Yet, the verses you quote, read in your way, have God being pathetically weak. Should we reconsider whether God is all powerful or should we reconsider whether God actually wanted all men to be saved? The answer is easy for me because the former goes to God's very essence. The latter goes to His choices. I can live with being wrong about God's choices from time to time, but if I don't have a basic understanding of His essence then I think I'm in trouble because everything would fall apart from there.

It is not too narrow. If we are free to sin, then we are free to sin. I think that you’re mixing up sin in general with specific actions upon an individual.
