Return to the court that appointed the executor and petition to have the executor removed and a new one appointed.
If you are talking about a life estate, the answer is no unless stated in the life estate.
The trustee under a will MUST distribute the estate according to the provisions in the will. The trustee does NOT have the authority to make gifts to non-beneficiaries unless that power was granted in the testamentary trust. The trustee should be reported to the court that appointed her/him for mishandling their authority and the estate. You should ask the court to appoint a successor trustee.
No. Executors are compensated by what are called commissions on the corpus of the estate and the income of the estate. The "corpus" is the date of death value of all the decedent's assets. The "income" is interest, dividends, rents, etc, earned by the corpus items after the date of death. Commissions are calculated using percentages stated in each state's laws. I know of no state that fixes a third of the inheritance as the executor's compensation. Check the laws in the state where the will was probated for specific information.

A letter of distribution of estate assets will likely be a document held by an attorney of a deceased individual. They will have specifically stated who gets their property and valuables in the event of their death.
A real estate appraisal is good for the effective date of value stated in the report. Appraisals do not forecast real estate values and are not intended to predict unanticipated changes that may influence the reported market value conclusion.

An executor handles the estate of a decedent who died with a will. An administrator handles the estate of a decedent who die without a will. The terms are different because an executor is executing the decedent's directions as stated in the will. The administrator is simply handling the estate according to general laws.

The executrix owes nothing to anyone. The estate is distributed according to the will or the law. In some cases the law may make exceptions to the will, particularly if the children are minors.

I don't know what it means but I have a diamond pendant stamped 18k and A74 plus a makers mark. It was an estate piece so I quickly had it appraised. I had not noticed the stamp at that time, my only interest was if diamond clarity and value were stated honestly by seller. I'm happy to say it was far more valuable than I expected. It is my opinion that whatever the stamp means, it's in no way referring to metal being gold plated or filled.
