Maybe Sans wanted her to fail, knowing that she would give up on the idea, perhaps because he knows that just imbuing things with human traits doesn't do what Alphys is intending it for (i.e. opening the barrier). It's just more speculation, but plausable, perhaps?

Your little theory about Undyne is also rather plausable. Even in the Neuteral rout, she has more determination than any other monster you meet, and it causes her to MELT before she dies.

I also thought of a bit more conjecture, in regard to Gaster. What if the broken machine was meant to allow him to reconstruct the timeline to the state it was before the first person with the ability to SAVE and RESET (it is speculated that Chara was this person) started splitting it? Obviously, that experiment failed somehow, as the timeline is still being manipulated throught the game. However, what if that's what caused Gaster's death and Sans' and Papyrus' sudden appearance in Snowdin? The photos that Sans keeps in his workshop could be evidence of them being from a different time, like the Game Theory video suggests, "sans" the whole Ness link (budum cha). This idea is probably rather far fetched, but it would explain how Gaster got to be "scattered throughout space and time".
