She was even able to hear the thoughts that John Grey had about Dark Phoenix.
In both circumstances you mention Rachel never recreated the past at all. With the recent lighthouse incident she says that theres a strong resonance in the stones and she shows Betsy the images the stones are resonating. So basically there was psionic residue in the area and Rachel showed Betsy what was there. Thats not recreating the past.
With the time at the Greys place Rachel was just fantasising about what she thought had happened during the DP Saga based on what she had read about it in the X-mens files:
So with these scans in mind Rachel cant psionically recreate the past. If an event was emotionally charged enough to leave residue then she can project an image of said events but then most half decent tps can and have done that.
Also the holempathic crystal contains the core of Jeans personality. It doesnt contain all of her thoughts up until she died. Its just a device which captures the essence of someones personality so that people can feel comfort after a loved ones passing by using the device. Rachel could not suddenly gain all of Jeans TP training from said device.
