1. Yes, the Obsidian Room in the World Without Sun is the same one here and in Kellen’s time. *Most* of the World Without Sun is the same from Vieliessar’s time to Kellen’s: it expands a bit as the numbers of the Endarkened increase, but that’s about it.
2. In Ugolthma, where the World of Darkness lay, nothing lived and nothing grew, and so the Cold Nursery had been placed far enough to the south that the sun rose and set each day, plants grew upon the ground, and Brightworld beasts existed in sufficiency to feed Virulan’s newest children. —BLADE OF EMPIRE
Ugolthma is a mountain peak very very far to the north, essentially on a line with Celephradulias-Tildorangelor, and exists in the same world as the Elves and everyone else. So it is theoretically possible to go there, but it’s highly unlikely that anyone who tried would survive the journey. The World Without Sun is built far beneath Ugolthma, but the mountain itself contains the entrances and exits the Endarkened use.
3. You are correct! Green life is plants, and red life is animals (not sure where insects fall in all of this). Silver life is specifically magic-capable and magic-aware life, so it includes Elves, Otherfolk, Dragons, Unicorns, Brightfolk, and humans. Even though Centaurs cannot use magic, they are aware of it, and thus are included in the category of “silver life”.
