RE: And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

In Bible speak adultery has at least two meanings. The first one is sexual. The second one is worshiping other gods beside Yahweh.
In the case of the woman she was worshiping Yeshua instead of Yahweh. He had been going around the area blabbling about how he was the son of God (which would make him a god as well) and doing magic tricks to impress the local yokels. So when the busybodies caught the woman worshiping Yeshua they tried to geth him to condemn her to death because he had said that the law was in effect. They wimped out when he tossed it back at them by saying that the person without sin should cast the first stone.
Since they were all sinners they wimped out. That fell to Yeshua and since he was supposed to have been sinless he granted her mercy (one of the themes in the Bible). That demonstrated that he had the power to forgive sins (another one of the themes in the New Testament).
