Now it seems we are starting to move from Conventional to Absolute?....Right?
The last one sure seems to have aspects of both.. still caught up in the conventional but with a path to the absolute...
Just my take..

Since I am not a follower of the two truths doctrine I won't answer your questions.
In the prasangika madhyamaka interpretation I prefer all conventionalities are called 'truths for a concealer' (sanskrit: saṃvṛti) and the concealer is ordinary consciousness. So if truths do only appear to a concealing consciousness it doesn't make sense at all to apply the term 'truth' in the affirmative. Therefore there aren't any truths.
If you replace the expression 'the two levels of truth' by the expression 'the two levels of experience' that may be a solution if - and only if - truth is not assigned to any of 'the two levels of experience'.
