I’m not quite sure how you can compare the two – what rashi says is quite logical – to the extent that you cause something you are an intrinsic part of it without any complex/magical transfers – I recall R Asher Weiss says something similar on Yissachar and Zevulun “contracts” (i.e. they don’t mean much), if you facilitated something you are a part of the result by definition, not because of some formal agreement.
However, on the loshon hora point – I’m not if there are any early sources for that, please excuse my scepticism and happy to be disproven.

I understand your question regarding loshon hara - would have to check what the source of that idea is.
When it comes to the rashi you quoted I think it's a bit simpler. The husband, through his faulty hafara, causes the wife to think her neder is annulled. He is thus responsible for her sin in breaking her vow and therefore receives the punishment.
