Hi, 3.a) sounds correct to me: a newsletter checkbox is offered, and independently of what the user chose before, if the user now does not check the newsletter checkbox now, then this is a decision not to receive the newsletter. This is an opt-out that has been deliberately chosen by the user when filling out the registration form. Apart from this, I don't think there is any other way to handle this: users that didn't register for the newsletter before need the option to chose whether to receive the newsletter when registering, and you cannot look up an existing newsletter registration until the user has entered an email address in the registration form and submitted it. The only way to deal with this in another way would be an additional screen asking whether to really cancel the previous newsletter subscription... Another thing to take into account is that if a user deliberately registers without an account (without setting a password), then pre-selecting the newsletter checkbox or asking whether to cancel an existing newsletter registration would appear as a clear violation of privacy expectations: when ordering without opening a customer account, i would not expect the shop to know anything about me the next time i interact with the shop ;-)
3.b) I would consider this a bug. If the email address has been previously registered for the newsletter and the opt-in has already been confirmed, then there is no reason for a second opt-in for the same email address.
