The Byzantine Empire was the eastern part of the Roman Empire which continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of this empire. The educated elites of part of the empire spoke Greek because before its conquest by Rome it had been ruled by Greek states. After the fall of the western part of the empire, this part lost its ties with Rome and with the Latin language. It became increasingly Greek in character and language. It became more so when it lost most of its non-Greek territories due to invasions by the Arabs and the Slavs.
Yes
The Byzantines were both Roman and Greek. With the takeover of the western half of the Empire by the Germanic peoples in the fifth century CE, the eastern empire centred on Byzantium WAS the Roman Empire. Its inhabitants were Greek, but they saw themselves as Roman. So the 'preservation' was simply continuing as they had been - speaking Latin and Greek, maintaining libraries, pursuing cultural activities as usual. Interestingly, as the Byzantine Empire contracted, faded and eventually ceased to exist, much of the knowledge was preserved and passed on to us not by the European Christian countries which were mired in the Dark Age, but by the enlightened Islamic countries in Spain and the Middle East, before they fell back into their own Dark Age and left the Enlightenment in Europe to struggle into existence.

he passed on the river
Emperor Theodosius I died in 395. He was the last emperor who ruled the east and the west of the empire alone. The Western Roman Empire passed on to his son Honorius. The Eastern Roman Empire passed on to his other son, Arcadius. 395 has been set as the year when the two parts of the empire split. The two sons were young and inexperienced and were manipulated by politicians. Politicians in the east and west started conspiring against each other, undermining the unity of the empire. Moreover, the Western Empire started collapsing under the weight of Germanic invasions (which caused massive losses of land), a string usurpations, and other political infighting. As the Western Empire was disintegrating, it became a puppet of the emperor of the east.
it originated because people found it too difficult to say "is dead". It is an English expression. ___ Hardly. The original phrase was 'passed on' i.e. they have passed through this vale of tears and into Heaven. This became 'passed away'. In turn this has given way to the recent, and deeply irritating, Americanism 'passed'. Which to me always sounds like someone's just successfully completed an exam.
