comment Preimage of zero measure sets
See, e.g., Janson "Gaussian Hilbert spaces", Chapter 15.4, where you will find a discussion of such results for "ray absolutely continuous" functions. Such conditions, generalized to the setting of infinite-dimensional Gaussian measures, are the driving force behind (the most celebrated application of) Malliavin calculus.

comment Maximal inequalities for certain functions of a martingale difference sequence
1) Because it is nonnegative. 2) Right, and $\sum_{t=1}^T \xi_t$ is a martingale, so this inequality does apply to it, with no connection to 1) at all. Probably you should at least check what you wrote against the definitions to eliminate trivialities or nonsense.

comment Riesz representation for an infinite-dimensional space
The set of compact subsets is naturally ordered by inclusion. To each compact $K$ we have to associate a space - namely, $C(K)$ - and for each pair $K_1 \subset K_2$ we need a map $C(K_2) \to C(K_1)$ - in this case it is the restriction map.

comment Riesz representation for an infinite-dimensional space
@Banach: Of course not. A projective limit may be defined for any directed family, which may be neither countable nor linearly ordered. Intuitively, this means that a continuous function "is" a collection of functions on compact subsets that fit together nicely, and the topology on $C(X)$ is generated by taking these restrictions. For precise definitions, see, e.g., en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_limit and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_topology.

comment Usage of set theory in undergraduate studies
I think a little experience with programming is enough to eliminate the whole free vs. bound thing :)
