The details you mention all come from different sources, all written by people with different motivations and perspectives.

-Aedra were created by the mixing of Anu and Padomays blood, that is why they are capable of good and evil. Deadra were created by the blood of Padomay, and Anu's blood created the stars.

- According to the elven version of events Lorkhan was a trickster God, at the end of the Merethic Era the first council at Adamantine Tower Decided to tear Lorkhans body apart and shoot his heart into the sea.

The Human version is one where Lorkhan(refferred to as Shezzar) was able to convince the Aedra to create Nirn, and they missed their powers but loved their creation.

- On what happened to the heart of Lorkhan I am fairly certain it still exists, if powerful Aedra could not destroy the heart what makes you think that items created by Dwemer could.

"But when Trinimac and Auriel tried to destroy the Heart of Lorkhan it laughed at them. It said, "This Heart is the heart of the world, for one was made to satisfy the other." The Monomyth

A bit of advice I can give you when delving into the ES lore you should treat most of the lore with an open mind. All the great arts mimic life, and I think that's what the developers are trying to capture. This is the Aurbris(the grey maybe) everything is buried under double meanings and intrigue.
