I think that the answer in all those cases is 'no'. These all seem like strange attempts at squeezing the word(s) into ill-fitting contexts.
Furthermore, I see no reason why there should exist a single word that would be apt in all those cases.
Please remember that we only allow for one topic per thread. (rule#2)

My Oxford dictionary says: reconciliation a. The action of bringing to agreement, concord, or harmony.

Thank you, Beryl. So, what would be the best word then?

I can see three questions there. I have quoted rule#2, which states 'one topic per thread'. I see no way of reconciling the first with the last, I'm afraid.
