I do agree with your remark about getting the values on single pixels, though. One could forgo the synthetic view of sample points, and use the color picker with some sampling radius to set foreground and background colors from both pictures, read the values in the color selector and work from that.
Yeah, I ran around a few times trying to find a good workflow for this, and this was also one way I thought might work. The problem is that I cannot change the sampling area while the curves dialog stays active (forcing me to save the curve as a favorite, resample, then reopen the curve again). It might be worth it for the ability to set a sample radius, though...

Now for the nasty question... this assumes that both images have about the same overall lightness/exposure, but is there a good technique to adjust the lightness of one image to match the other one?
This is a nasty question, and I don't have a good answer. Other than manual attempts to level the overall lightness to match, I'm not sure. In the past I've visually sampled points/areas that I
want to be similar values, but nothing other than eyeballing what looks good to me...
I'd be really interested if anyone has any good suggestions as well!
