I am trying to import a full version (700 GBytes) of OSM into SpatiaLIteand

this import in a more transparent fashion, so that I can see what the error
is? I was surprised that as the import kept chugging along, no disk space
was consumed on any of my drives (temp, destination).
I know that some folks out there have been working with the full (planet)
XML and am now seeking advice as to how they did it (unlikely that it
worked for them at their first trial).

Your attempt is designed to fail with that amount of data. Consider spatiaLITE to be a lightweight database. Professional work on OSM data is made on a Postgis populated by osm2pgsql, and the developers are sure that this does not work for the full planet on Windows due to OS restrictions:

I am working with QGIS 2.12.1 64-bit on a choice of Windows 8 or Ubuntu.
Eventually, I would like to create a TIN of the road network nodes, so I
need to be able to open the data set sequentially in a database rather than
loading it all into memory.

If you only need the road network, you better filter that out before using osmosis. This will spare a lot of database size and performing time. Note that buildings and landuses occupy a lot of the database.

If you still want to work on spatialite, start with a small extract from geofabrik, and test further with larger ones until the database collapses.
