No idea, but I suppose by European law, it's required to be supported for two years after it was last sold. That doesn't mean software updates, of course.

Not for the hardware, but for the OS. Basically, if you break it, you get to keep the pieces, if you broke it with software modifications.

Thanks to Qualcomm, no!
You can reset to factory defaults as long as you didn't mess up the filesystem and bootloader. So you can still get it out of a reboot loop, for example.

Probably. It used to work in 2013, so I assume it will still work on Alien Dalvik.

Probably not with hardware acceleration, but yes.
