1. It is certainly intended by Tor to represent Tannatarie the White.
2. I'm on the fence here. I don't think people want to think about the Endarkened, so they're unlikely to be onboard with calling something "the fourth Endarkened War." Whether people beyond Tiercel's time, looking back, will want to call it that, is something that could only be answered if a book were written from that time, but I don't think the title will catch on.
3. Yes. Dragons do not die of age. If their Bondeds die, they die, unless their Bond has become a part of a threefold Bond. Such a bond can be added to infinitely, and in that case the dragon could become virtually immortal even as a Bonded Dragon.
4. Alas, no. I wish there could be. I don't think they're even reprinting the map from the last book.
5. No.
6. Yes.
7. This question will also be answered in Deliverance of Dragons.
