In Surah Fatihah we say "Guide us to the Striaght Path" there is no reason why this cannot be meant in a literal sense. That we ask Allah (SWT) to guide us on our journey to a quick and straight path, but at the same time it means the straight way - which is truth.
If you consider "Guide us to the straight path" in isolation then yes, it could mean the journey or anything in which somehow a 'way' is implied. Guide us to the straight path to defeat the enemy, to conquer this or that. However when you contextualize it in Surah Fatiha, then the 'way' is only one! Allah is not refering to the straight path to Jerusalem.

Also, in the Qur'an the superiority of it we see it says "the zarra of good you shall see it, the zarra of evil you shall see it" - Zarra here is a moving target. So long as each generation that comes across this term understands it to mean the smallest possible thing, then we can say zarra is sand grain, as well as an atom as well as a quark, or smaller, depending on the knowledge of our time. This is one of the reasons why the Qur'an is relevant for all times.

Again context is important. Language is full of metaphors and similes. Of course, if i literally translate it that i will see a grain of 'sand' then im utterly mistaken. If you interpret it outside its metaphors it will loose its meaning. So you 'will' have to look at it through one interpretation.
'Truely, those who swear allegiance unto thee, swear allegiance only to God. The Hand of God is above their hands' 48:10 Is this verse open to interpretations? Can we interpret that Allah has tangible Hands? Or should we establish its meaning through metaphors? If your consider the metaphors, Hand hear means Power/Authority etc but you cannot interpret is outside the boundaries of metaphors which will render it meaningless and lead to kufr.

Two, three or more interpretations can be true at the same time so long as they do not contradict one another in essence.

True, but we should have an umambiguous reason for doing so. For example in case of metaphors.
