At the beginning of the film when David first sees Elizabeth in his apartment, they both start screaming. The camera shows her screaming but then the angle changes to show the side of Elizabeth and she stops screaming, when it goes back to the front of her she is still screaming. See more...

Why can Elizabeth's niece see Elizabeth's undead "spirit" when David goes to the sister's house, but not when she's in the hospital room? [Either one or both of them were not in the right frame of mind to be "communing" with the other side.]

The only people able to see Elizabeth are David and one of Elizabeth's nieces. However, in one shot when Elizabeth and David are at Elizabeth's sister's house, the other niece who isn't supposed to be able to see Elizabeth follows her with her eyes as Elizabeth walks away from her. [Her eyes are not following Elizabeth, they're following the sound she makes when she walks.]
After lying in bed for 3 months during Lizzie's coma, atrophy would have prevented her from being able to "out and about" immediately upon being discharged without weeks of physical therapy. [The film doesn't show her jumping out of bed, immediately upon awakening, we can assume that some time has passed, when we see Elizabeth again, after, presumably, going through physical therapy.]
Fairly early on, when David is telling his best friend at the outdoor cafe that he's seeing Elizabeth, who really isn't there, the same passerby goes by twice behind Jake. [It is possible that the passerby turned around after entering a store and is now going back home, or maybe they just realized that they were going in the wrong direction and turned around. There are many other reasons for that guy going by twice, I do that all the time.]
From the bedroom, David's neighbor tosses her clothes through the open door into the hallway to lure him in that direction. When he walks that way, the door is closed. [Listen closely just after the clothes tossing scene, when it cuts back to David and Elizabeth, you can hear the door closing.]
Throughout the beginning of the film, Elizabeth encounters David and is trying to remember her past. However, before she remembers anything, she's able to remember something so extremely specific as the key under the fire extinguisher? [That is simply how memory and memory retrival works, it does not always make literal or logical sense.]

There is no way David could have landscaped the roof of Elizabeth's apartment in such a dramatic fashion without causing one heck of a huge commotion and mess since the only way onto the roof was through her apartment. [There are two possible explanations for this. When Elizabeth woke up, she probably stayed in the hospital for a some time or with her sister. That would give David the time to move, so he probably had a ample time to do the landscaping without detection.]
When Elizabeth is "haunting" David, she can't touch or pick up any solid objects. Yet she has no problem sitting down on solid beds, benches and car seats. [In the DVD commentary, the director explains about believing that as a ghost you can do something easy that you always did when you were alive, such as walk up steps and sit down.]
