When the Bride is buried in a coffin, we know she will get out because Tarantino creates the sense that the Bride is Blondie, who is able to escape from any situation.
Also Bud portrays Ugly in Kill Bill, and at the end of the film in The Good, The Bad , The Ugly, Ugly gets the short straw, and ends up being close to death, from this we can decipher that Bud will come to a bad ending as well.
Also it creates a sense of a shoot-out, as this is what happens in The Good.., revealing that is could soon be the ending for Bud, as Ugly comes off worse that Blondie. Not only that but the sense of isolation is a thriller convention and also occurs in both films, the shootout in The Good…, takes place in an isolated area, in the middle of the country, and in Kill Bill takes place in a dark, gloomy area, which is a thriller convention, the same as the isolated location in The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

Kill Bill- fight between Bud and the Bride
Your post indicates that you understand Tarantino's purpose when he explicitly uses the inter textual reference to Morricone's sound track in Kill Bill 2! The Bride's cowboy boots and the use of the graveyard are also strong intertextual references to Sergio Leone's classic shootout in The Good the Bad and the Ugly.
