Agreed on both counts.
The other big one I'd add is yoroshiku (+onegai-shimasu), which in the abstract conveys that the speaker anticipates some kind of help or cooperation from the listener. It can translate as anything from "looking forward to working with you" to "Please help, I'm counting on you", or even "I'm leaving this in your hands, get it done" depending on context, tone, honorifics and so on.
