One would definitely assume the West Wing would have at least one separate entrance - if only for fire safety in such a huge house. And perhaps when Liz referred to it as a independent unit, she was merely considering the fact that access to and from it could be locked to make it more private? When locked it wouldn't be like Carolyn or Roger or especially David could simply pop in unannounced at an, uh, inopportune time (though locked doors never did stop David from getting in anywhere ).
As for the business with David and Amy and the toy chest, where would the suspense have been had they used some unseen stairway and door to get from Quentin's room to the outside? Even though it was most probably much more illogical for them to use the main stairway/entrance, it was much more exciting for the audience to wonder if they'd get caught sneaking out.
The interesting thing is that there are only three stairways in the real Seaview - and one of them is only a narrow servants' stairs. If DS had been shot using the actual location as Collinwood, David and Amy would have had no choice but to use one of the two main stairways, and their attempt to get outside undetected would have been just as harrowing.
