If you are the sole Executor you do not need signatures from any beneficiaries.
The executor cannot "renounce or disclaim" the inheritance of any beneficiary. That can only be done voluntarily by the person who decides to disclaim their own inheritance and there are certain forms that must be used, signed and filed with the estate.The executor cannot "renounce or disclaim" the inheritance of any beneficiary.

The executor should contact the beneficiary to see if the check was ever received. If it was they should request it be cashed immediately. If not, depending on the type of check used, that executor should arrange for a replacement. It would seem that the checks were simply mailed out with no request for the beneficiary to sign any release. A signed release shows the funds were received.
Their shouldn't be a conflict of interest as long as the executor maintains detailed records and settles the estate according to the terms of the will and the state probate laws. As long as the executor doesn't do anything that's questionable (regarding the principal under the POA) there shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand and if possible, in the matters of the estate the principal could sign any court documents for themselves rather than having them signed by the attorney-in-fact under the POA. That would remove the possibility of doubt.
Yes. A beneficiary who refuses to release their demands in an estate cannot delay the process for long. The executor can ask for a hearing on the final account and the court will allow it even though all the beneficiaries have not signed releases.
Yes. If the executor has refused to make distribution then you should complain to the attorney who is handling the estate and to the probate court immediately. They can be compelled by the court to act or they can be replaced.

There is no single time frame that can be state. Each estate is unique and has to be inventoried and appraised, the debts collected, taxes paid and the terms of the will meet.
In most cases, the spouse of the owner of an IRA is the default beneficiary. Therefore, there would be a legal document that would need to be signed acknowledging that he or she is not a beneficiary.
There is no requirement that an executor be named in the will for the will to be valid. The court will appoint one.
No, the only requirement is that the beneficiary have "insurable interest".
It is fraud. You cannot 'edit' a will once the testator has signed it. And amendment or codicil can be filed to change parts of the will, but they have to be done by the testator, not the executor.
