The reason God kicked them out, wasn't because they ate the fruit, but because they were introduced to sin. The garden of Eden was a place where God came regularly(based on the relationship between him and Adam-man to man conversations), it was a place where God was close to man, but by sinning, both Adam and Eve could not stay close to God, because sin and truth can not mingle, and God IS Truth. God could no longer shelter them in the garden because of this. That's why they had to leave the garden.
1st: The fruit could be symbolism of sin, but it seems more like it's plain just the was it was written, no symbolism really required. The sin was the act. If we did go along the lines of that symbol(as we can), the fruit would be the sin. And sin makes us ahamed. Would the fruit symbolize sin or shame? It said, as soon as both had eaten of the fruit, their eyes were opened, and they were ashamed. Before, they had no reason to be ashamed, because they did not sin.
2nd: I've thought about this a lot since I read your perspective on this. Where does it say Eve had sex with the serpent? Satan only tricked her to eat of the fruit. I think you're reading too far into the word "beguiled" than needed. The reason God says your father the devil is because Cain has listened to Satan, as many would listen to their fathers. It is more to tell Cain his horrible deed and how bad it was than the literal meaning. The fact that they were born together as maternal twins does not change anything.
3rd: The bible says that Adam and Eve were the first people made by God. Doesn't necessarily say that they were the only ones God made. I'm pretty certain God made more than just Adam and Eve.
And here's my question: When God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden, he sealed the gates into the garden, but what of the garden? Did he move it? Did he burn it down? Did he put it in a different dimension? I'm pretty sure Eden was on earth, close to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. No one's run into the garden since Adam and Eve. Has God destroyed the Garden of Eden?

"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people and then they take themselves out of the slums. Christ changes men, who then changes their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Maybe...
I think God thought it should be like that, and I agree that they would have been thrown out some kind of way. Well, that is true that they were husband and wife, but Adam got thrown out because God told ADAM to not eat of the fruit, but notice that God never told Eve, but Adam told her. So the reason why Adam was punished was because he disobeyed God directly. Maybe God would have destroyed the women of the world or something...or maybe she would have been put out the garden, ans the whole world as lived right now would be extravagantly different.
