You raise many questions that took 2 units to cover in law school. If you want quick answers you can read the judgement and potentially future judgments if this is appealed.
Some of those questions have no answers. Courts don't answer hypotheticals. Will have to wait for something to come up and be ruled on. It's common for things to never be ruled on. For example when I studied this, it was unknown whether TV formats like the Bachelor or MasterChef had copyright. No one tested it and everyone just licensed it.
Not talking about the actual shows but the concept of the franchise. For example if you wanted to go make the Bachelor in Antarctica.
