Lava flows on earth are typically around 1500 kelvin. many pure elements have a higher melting point than this including tungsten, carbon, and platinum just to name a few. (the melting points of tungsten and carbon are about 3700 and 3800 kelvin respectively) Most likely an alloy of tungsten and carbon is used as a reasonably affordable and durable solution for a lava container. a thick iron bucket could be used as well, though it would most likely oxidize over an extended use.

Many bodies can stop a lava flow. Eventually, after consuming multiple bodies, the cooling effect of the combustion will harden the rock flow and stop the lava. Whether that means 100 or 10,000 charred bodies depends on the size of the lava flow.

The amount of lava is dependent upon several things. These include the size of the volcano and also how much movement there is of the plates causing the volcano.
