Of course Snoke wouldn't have been in the next room. That would be stupid. I came no where near suggesting it. The movie clearly shows he has the ability to project others far across the galaxy. I'd think only doing it to a single being, would make it easier. Especially considering he'd be doing it to himself and not worry about being "detected" by Kylo. Not to mention the deflection of Hux and Kylo seeing it some time later... Well, no shit he'd keep displaying his body. He wouldn't let it just disappear. That would defeat the purpose of the ruse in the first place.
Luke didn't train for months before he almost pulled a much, much heavier x wing, out of the lake on Dagobah. Of course though, he failed. He was still lifting substantial weight through rocks and r2 before hand not too long after landing. I think with Rey, this may have been the least Mary Sue thing she's done. Having equal power to pull the lightsaber apart against Kylo tho? Yeah..... MaRey Sue! Unless she's an embodiment of the force, much like Anakin before her. That would be the only explanation I'd accept and even then I'd be disappointed through the lack of imagination. The dark side mirror hints at many things but ultimately tells us nothing.. Which was quite annoying.
I concede on the lack of explanation for a few things though. Rey's parentage should have been revealed and I would have liked more info on Snoke. The lack of info though leads me to think the way I do.

The movie basically says Rey is the embodiment of the Force, much like Anakin. She's chosen/created by the Force because of the Dark Side fuckery going on and I guess in the Star Wars universe the Force in that case will say "enough of this" and create some kind of chosen one to bring the Force back into balance.
Snoke says it, she's basically the light chosen to meet the darkness and it's basically all unavoidable.
When we meet Gary Stu Anakin at 9 years old, he's already the only human that can fly pods with Jedi reflexes and he's freaking building 3PO with zero training already. What the fuck is the explaination for that? He has Jedi reflexes with no training? As a kid no less? Did he even need any training from the Jedi in that case? Seems to me like he would be a powerful Force user by the time he got to Rey's age (23/24).
Anyways, why the fuck can't she just be the Neo of the Star Wars universe? That's basically what I see her as, and that is mythic archetype as well.

Because star wars isn't for us. It's for the masses. We're supposed to dislike it as forum dwelling nerds... On principle.
