I'm a native English speaker, and to answer your questions:
Q1) Technically yes, the comma does imply "I was watching a woman and I was sitting alone at a table" but usually we would just say "I was sitting alone at a table, watching a woman." to avoid confusion.
Q2) Yes it is grammatically correct, but can end up confusing people if your timing is off while speaking. You can avoid this by (SEE Q1) or saying "I was watching a woman, while sitting alone at a table."
Q3) Yes it does apply here, however as I previously said, it can even confuse native speakers at some times, so it's safer to just do one of the options I said before.
