Not exactly. The the USSR went bankrupt because they overspent their money on the war in Afghanistan. (not the current war) Ronald Reagan had been dealing with the Russians when all this happened. He motivated them to give up their communist regime and to allow all the nations in Europe to be freed. He motivated them to take down the wall in Germany. Unfortunately, the western Germans discovered there was a lot wrong in Eastern Berlin and Eastern Germany. They had to deal with all the pollution and other problems. It cost them a lot money and took time to reverse all the bad effects from the communist government.

No. That happened during the Bush administration.

The beginning of the end was Hungary's removal of their border fortifications along the Austrian border, which happened a few months after Bush was inaugurated. The Wall opened in November 1989. Reunification happened in 1990.

How Did Ronald Reagan?

Ronald Reagan left office because he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease but this is not what caused him to die. He died in 2004 from pneumonia. I am pretty sure that he died just a natural death in his home.
