The girl at the end was just a random cultist. As you so quaintly put it, it's there to show that "Kira's influence is not gone, look, he's got a cult!" Nothing more.
Personally I didn't like Near. At all. I liked Mello much less, but I thought Near was too spot-on. He was never wrong. Once. Every assumption he makes is correct. At least L tossed out possibilities every now and then. Near understood everything perfectly even though he probably shouldn't have based on the information he had. And to top it off, his character was boring as hell. He was only a half-L. I was bemused with Near's victory. Also, I thought Light was a bit out of character at the end. I would have thought Light would have accepted the imprisonment, but would have begun concocting a plan to break out or make the public aware of his situation and have them break him out. Instead he tries to kill Near for no reason other than a partial victory. He became unusually impatient. Makes me feel like the ending was rushed.
I still liked the ending, but I was expecting something more.
