Selenium's execution model makes this sort of thing hard.
For starters, the "AndWait" qualifier is part of the execution loop and cannot be buried inside another action.
You may find that you can combine a number of simple actions (such as the first three in your function), but generally this approach is limited.
On a couple of projects we have used jsp includes to group together common combinations of actions (what can work well is having an include or jsp tag for each page you are testing parameterized with the values you want to use to fill in fields).
Cheers,
