Somehow lost some of the post. Also in views that dont have a $users variable set you can use the element $this->renderElement( 'users_list' ); Using ajax to return html snippets would work as well. - jquery style - $( '#element' ).load( Url/users/index ); would load the cached element into the #element.
Remember you need to play with the RequestHandler component and either extension parsing or request handling code to serve the ajax view in a blank layout. Again have fun with this stuff. Let us know what you come up with.
