Would those make any sense assuming there was cut&paste support for them?
You can select a word by tapping on it and then it shows the aforementioned dialog. And you can tap a word and continue dragging across lines to select them.

All your requests make sense and I think they're possible but it adds to the complexity of interface (it'd be like mouse gestures that I never liked... for example: tap then wait a second and tap for 2nd time to select whole sentence etc.)

But these are not as useful for me as a simple copy paste can be.
