I have to agree with you on #4, talkative players do seem to be on the looser side. But have you ever run into a player who is talkative, but it usually has nothing to do with poker, like (I'm talking online here) he just starts small talk in the chat box, or congratulates people on good hands, or when a chip leader is transferred to your table. I've seen a few talkers like this who appeared to be quite solid players.
#1 I think is a little questionable though, especially the all in thing. This just seems like a common thing I see in home games and it rarely carries any weight, its usually just to try to scare the other players. The call thing could go either way too, pretty much because I don't think I've ever heard someone say that he wants you to fold when you're contemplating what to do.
