I think you ask good questions that are fair to be answered. Its definitive that on average there is much less total energy used to make paper from paper than to make paper from trees, when looking at the complete life cycle. But the world is more complex than that, as we all know, and we can dig a little deeper if we really want to take advantage of the environmental opportunities for us in making choices about paper. We need to use less, most of all, be more efficient and less wasteful with paper. Value it more, because there are some places in the world where people have little access to paper and its benefits. Also, we have to look at using any virgin fiber in our paper from certified, well managed forests, by a credible certifier like the Forest Stewardship Council. In addition we can look into other factors like the energy source at a mill, etc. The site I mentioned gives good step by step guidance to make this understandable, but not oversimplified.

Many of the answers will need to be addressed internally by the companies operating each of those processes. As more businesses realize the multiple benefits of operating on a reduced impact diet (lower emissions, toxic chemicals, materials, just to name a few), they will likely take these concepts to task. As engaging in comprehensive management and environmental certification systems, for example, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, becomes more widely accepted, the questions you pose to them will evolve into their own questions. However, I believe you hit the nail on the head of why people often want to just look at a feel-good label on products or services: the reality is extremely complex. The good thing about it all, though, is that you can no longer just stop at one question anymore, so, to quote an old story, "if you give a mouse a cookie..." Excellent questions well-worth asking.
