Could be, however the 'bowing and scraping' of his men should come as no big surprise. She knows her husband is now Don Corleone. The 'surprise' is having the door shut in her face.

That deleted scene is shown at the END of the saga; thereby suggesting that Kay is lighting those candles after their marriage has ended...many years after Carlo's death and after she knows what her husband has become.
Still, your theory is somewhat compelling. Can't really go along with it, though.
