And was there an extradition agreement (I mean the actual specific paperwork or court decision for Snowden's case, not just the abstract international agreement)? Shouldn't the U.S. get that in order before they send an actual plane? I am not U.S. taxpayer, but it's at least a waste of money otherwise..

Unless they did something else and used Snowden as a distraction.

It's also possible that UK police really wanted to do something else at Ecuadorian embassy, and Assange was just an useful cover.

I don't think secret services feel the need to justify their operations in this manner. On the other hand, people who pay for it..
