If you delete the book from the library this does not happen and you can then again "pay what you want" or buy a second time.

I don't know if it is the same for (initially) "Free" books downloaded whilst logged in. I guess as you don't need to, most like me don't bother to log in for freebies.
When you download the sample you can still buy the book later, even if you were signed in when you got the sample. So the only stumbling block would be if Smashwords wouldn't let you set a 100% sample. Even if it did stop you from doing that, you could always set it at 90% and put some random junk at the end so that the complete story would fit within the sample.
