Does this include the image sensor design and fab division, the article is not really clear?

  This is an important question, as the vast majority of high-end smartphone and other camera sensors are manufactured by them (Canon is the notable exception as a company that doesn't use Sony sensors) and it's a very profitable business. If I understand correctly from the official announcement the three sub-companies are going to be "Imaging Products & Solutions", "Home Entertainment & Sound" and "Mobile Communications" - the sensor business would fall pretty neatly into the first one.

    I don't think so. I think "imaging products" is cameras. Sensors and modules would fall under their semiconductor division.

      I get that you wouldn't put it into -products, but what about solutions? Don't they also make a lot of the stuff around the sensors?
