I don't think paste is always adhesive (think tooth paste, or dough at in the first definition underneath), while glue is.

They definitely aren't synonyms, see:

Indeed it can be - along with paste for cooking etc. I was taking it for granted that alongside 'glue' it was in the context of an adhesive.

Tidus gives these examples: "She is intent on going to college in the Autumn", or, "Her intention is to go to college in the Autumn." This suggests that intent is only an adjective, but in more formal contexts it can be a noun, as in "letter of intent".

That is correct. In the legal sense, intent is a noun.
