Interesting thoughts but I have to disagree with some points:
1) I'm not sure that The Island actually is jumping in time. I think only the remaining Losties move in time. If the island moved in time so would The Others, The Losties Camp, The Orchid, etc. I believe that the time jumping only began after the Frozen Donkey Wheel was turned.
2) I do believe that the island is moving on the Earth, however, which is where the wackiness with Mrs. Hawking, churches and pendulums comes in. Like you I believe this happens every 108 mins and pressing the numbers was some sort of control mechanism. I'm pretty sure that this began after The Others buried Jughead. While digging the hole they messed with the energy mentioned by Candel/Wickman/Chang in the season's premier. This is why they had to build the Swan.
3) We know that the Dharma Initiative lied to folks about why they were in the stations. Kelvin might have been told he was "saving the world" as the folks in the Pearl Hatch were told that what was happening in the Swan was fake. Why, I have no idea.
