Feb 24, 2012 at 17:53 comment added Yemon Choi @kofi, the point is that the norms do not match - if you take an element of the completed projective tensor product $E \hat{\otimes} E$, and view it as an element of $X\hat{\otimes} X$, then the norm can strictly decrease. This is well known in Banach-space theory, see examples in Defant and Floret's book for example.
Feb 24, 2012 at 12:43 comment added Matthias Ludewig Your second claim is not correct. If you have a linear map $f: X \longrightarrow Y$ between Banach normed vector spaces that is bounded, injective and isometric (for example if $X$ is a subspace of $Y$ equipped with the same norm), then the dual map $f': Y' \longrightarrow X'$ is always surjective. Also, I gave a proof of the positive answer below, I believe.
