Hi Brian. I tried your thing, and it seemed to work in interesting ways. Opening the Downloads window was a nice idea, and I'll try and incorporate that into my setup, however, your script gave me an error - 
"System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled."

Also, all the cmd-4/ cmd-r  etc stuff is ditched if the Search-bar is selected inside iTunes.
I guess there's really no way to do this whole concept, short of figuring out how to force iTunes to stop playback and instead play a silent mp3, then going through the cmd-4/cmd-r  motions. and that would be disruptive too. hmm.
