Why the disciples and not Mary could touch Jesus after he rose

But Paul referred to Jesus as our High Priest who entered into the sanctuary.
That's Hebrews, not Paul. Paul uses the Passover lamb, as you said. Two different typologies. The salvation has so many aspects that it cannot be described by one picture only.

Afterthought: There may a an allusion to the temple in Rom 3:25, at least the to the ark of the covenant (is this the correct English term?).

To your question on the Revelation concerning the "half hour". The Revelation is written in the order of the Jewish temple liturgy. The Christian liturgy is patterned after that liturgy. You'll hear Catholics say that they can "see the Mass" in the Revelation, which is true. To find the "space of about a half hour" you have to go to rabbinical commentaries on the Jewish liturgy. I've read them years ago but have no idea where. If I stumble across it again I'll let you know.
Very interesting.
