Nothing will ever settle some of these. People have very different ideas. So here's the answers from me.

1. Define canon, but canon as most people understand it doesn't exist with TES. There are only levels of truth. C0DA is a reference for us to understand some deeper metaphysics, which it does a good job at. It was never intended to have its events represented within the games. So to answer your question, do the events of C0DA actually happen? Yes, in a time stream. Will the events of C0DA ever occur within a TES game? Almost certainly no. Are the events of C0DA referenced in game? Yes.

2. As far as it has been presented, yes. Most likely this will be the LDB's way of fading into obscurity like previous Prisoners have.

3. Within the C0DAverse timeline, yes. However, this does not mean they will win within the Tamriel Prime timeline we see within the games. So to that, the answer is unknown.

4. Most certainly not. The only et'ada to have died was Lorkhan. Is Alduin permanently gone? Quite possibly. This may even be the reason for Landfall. It's possible that the kalpa just went on too long and the Thalmor needed to find a new way to escape and return to the Dawn. So what's the difference between dead and gone? The Aka oversoul sheds itself and then also has the ability to put itself back together. It's possible that aspect Ald rejoined other pieces of the Oversoul.
