In the musical he becomes the scarecrow
In the book he dies
No he is not. Fiyero was a character created in the book "Wicked". And in the stage production of "Wicked" Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow.
The following actors played Fiyero in performances of 'Wicked' in the United States of America in 2009:1. On Broadway, Aaron Tveit took over the role of Fiyero from Kevin Kern on January 20. Kevin Kern reprised the role on March 10.2. In Los Angeles, Derrick Williams was Fiyero.3. In San Francisco, Nicolas Dromard was Fiyero.4. In the second national tour, Colin Donnell was Fiyero.
Spoilers. Fiyero does not die. Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow, and he and Elphaba are reunited by the end of the musical.
The play takes certain liberties with the source material. The book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' is more closely paired with the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' than the musical is. In the musical 'Wicked' Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow when Elphaba cast a spell for him to never die. In the book, Fiyero does not become the Scarecrow. I the movie, the Scarecrow has no connection to the witch prior to his travels with Dorothy.
No. The Scarecrow is only a scarecrow. In the book Wicked, Elphaba believes her lover Fiyero has disguised himself as a scarecrow until she sees him empty the straw from his clothing. In the play Wicked, however, Fiyero does become the Scarecrow, but this is the only version where he is anything other than a stuffed old suit.

Answer #1 Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow due to Elphaba's protective spell. Answer #2 Fiyero is the Munchkin Prince who falls in love with Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. Elphaba is passionate about animal rights and welfare in the land of Oz. That gets her in trouble with the Wizard of Oz. Fiyero becomes Elphaba's defender in this and other matters. The Wizard's guards manage to ambush Fiyero. Elphaba turns Fiyero into the Scarecrow before the guards can torture him to death.
Okay... So lets start from act 2. Fiyero is now a gaurd for Oz and has just helped Elphaba escape, to protect her because he loves her and not glinda. The other gaurds that were trying to kill her take Fiyero to a field and "demand to tell them where the witch went". Knowing that Fiyero will die Elphaba casts a spell in "no good deed" hoping to save him. She thinks that the spell did not work, but at the end of the musical, we see Fiyero survived and has become the scarecrow.

No, Elphaba wasn't in love with the Wizard. She took advantage of an opportunity to spend some time away from Shiz University. Once in the Emerald City, she became aware of unlikeable aspects of the Wizard's personality. For example, he had her give caged monkeys the ability to fly. Elphaba learned after her spell worked that the Wizard was planning to use them as spies. In contrast, Elphaba was a passionate advocate of animal rights and well-being.
