Yes, looks good to me, too.

No, I don't think so.  TeX-macro-global queries for "$SYSTEXMF"
"$TEXMFLOCAL" "$TEXMFMAIN" "$TEXMFDIST".

Ok, so lets see further.  The list of LaTeX packages for completion are
gathered by

  (TeX-search-files-by-type 'texinputs 'global t t)

What does that return in one of you tex buffers?

In my case, that function calls

  (TeX-search-files-kpathsea "${TEXINPUTS.latex}"
    ("tex" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "txi" "texinfo" "dtx")
    'global t t)

which returns the list of all packages.

Maybe in your case TeX-search-files-kpathsea doesn't return anything
because the TeX-kpathsea-path-delimiter couldn't be configured
automatically?

In case you know how to use M-x edebug, this is the corner where you
should have a look at.
