It's a shame Raquel Welch did not appear in a Bond. She was considered for Domino - but Claudine was not too bad.

How about Peter Cook as Q?
Bring back Bond!

I think it would just be another addition to the long list of movie roles in which Cook was wasted. To me, his only good movie was Bedazzled, though I know The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer has plenty of fans (never really got the appeal myself).

Emmanuelle Chriqui as Vivienne Michel

Do you think TSWLM would work as a faithful adaptation?

I don' see why not. They would have to include more of Bond in there, actually showing his pursuits of SPECTRE agents that he tells Viv about in the book. Call it Motel Nymph, the title it was released as in a magazine in the US.
