Put simple it's like this:
1. Player ID is alive. No corpse for him/her yet.
2. Player ID dies. When that happens the player "changes" to a corpse, flags are set to signal the engine, classname remains "player", ID remains a "valid" id, a timer is set (depending on "mp_corpse" or something like that) at which end the corpse (view model) is to be removed from the map.
3. The corpse "expired" and needs to be removed. The event "ClCorpse" is fired.
4. If the player is "revived" then all actions are suspended and the player "resets". This means that the corpse is removed from the map, timers are invalidated, etc.

The entire time the corpse is visible, ANY change to the phisical properties of the player will be reflected in the corpse too (ex. a team or model change would reset the corpses model to reflect that change).
You don't actually need to set/reset player flags unless you want a fine tune of that process. Some flags cannot be modified tho...

1. Player is tied to an entity and corpse isn't actual entity. It's a special type of a temporary entity that is created by the game mod.
2. Generally speaking "no". Before ClCorpse message is fired answer would be "yes".
3. Yes, but dead player is still tied to an entity that isn't tied to a corpse.
4. Since corpse is a temporary entity, it doesn't have any classname at all. You have to cache player's entity origin when ClCorpse message is fired so you can retrieve it at any time even when actual player is flying outside of map bounds.
5. Generally speaking this shouldn't be possible. You can remove all decals/corpses with fm_cs_remove_decals() function from the Fakemeta Utilities optionally you can pass an id of a given client to remove such things only for that client.

As a side note: cl_corpsestay clientside CVar controls how long in seconds corpses will stay for a given client.
