Actually, [1]<=>[3] holds if E is metrizable, see e.g. Theorem 1.1
of my book "Integration theory - a second course".
[3]=>[2] is trivial. So your question comes down to whether a
locally weak measurable function must be locally almost S-measurable
(if necessary, one can assume also that the function is almost
separably valued, although I do not think that this plays a role here).
I do not have a copy of Hille/Phillips at hand in the moment, but isn't
it possible to just mimic the proof by using the separation theorem
for locally convex spaces (e.g. from Rudin's "Functional Analysis")
instead of Hahn-Banach?
