No, Shakespeare followed the Elizabethan structure of a FIVE act play. Almost all Elizabethan plays are divided into five acts, including Shakespeare's.
"These" in Elizabethan English is exactly the same as it is in all other forms of Modern English: "these" e.g. "Where are these lads? Where are these hearts?" (Midsummer Night's Dream)
... and justice for all
For the first thirty-nine years of Shakespeare's life, all of the attractions he might find in England were "Elizabethan". Working as he did in the red light district of Southwark, I daresay he found some attractions during the Elizabethan Era.
It was pretty similar to what it is now. That's why people still put on Elizabethan plays all the time. They are still entertaining. (Actually, Greek drama is still entertaining 2300 years later. Drama doesn't change)
Not all tragedies end in death. Tragedies typically involve a series of unfortunate events that lead to a disastrous outcome, which may or may not involve death. Death is a common element in tragedies, but it is not a requirement for a story to be classified as a tragedy.
all of them
In Elizabethan times, I believe all the parts were played by males.
Like all tragedies, there were survivors.
They were used to it. Shakespeare built on a tradition of tragedies, and his audience would have been familiar with the most popular Elizabethan play of all, Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, which featured a man being murdered onstage in the presence of his lover, a man being hanged while convinced to the last second that he has been pardoned, a stage play in which some of the actors are really murdered and one really commits suicide (in front of their parents), and finally a man who bites out his own tongue and spits it on the stage. Other playwrights wrote similarly juicy revenge tragedies. At the same time anyone who had been to grammar school had read the extremely gory and violent tragedies of the Roman playwright Seneca, and there were contemporaries of Shakespeare who imitated the Senecan style, Ben Jonson for one. Besides, the realities of violence were well known to the audience. It was a rough time, and people did not whitewash the facts of life.

They were all part of greek mythology.
All of the ten histories and the ten tragedies.
