You'd still design it so any failure of critical equipment you would have a fallback. Especially comms.
It may well have. The fact that comms and the ping went down at the same time suggests it had a leak and pressurized. If so those on board would have died instantly.

I did read it had a device that if there was a mechanical failure it could drop its buoys and float back to the surface.

A couple of milo cans and a piece of string
I have no idea. Mr Google provided the following:
The U.S. Navy's Curv-21 ROV can go down to a maximum depth of 20,000 feet of seawater and is designed for deep ocean salvaging.
Which is 6km. I would say that there are very few of these about and no way they could get to the site quickly.

Not so sure. They make them all sign contracts waiving company responsibility. The contract even lists the ways you can die in there.

On the old O-Boats (Oberon class subs Australia used to operate) they'd tie a taut rope from one end to almost the other, go deep and show the newbies how much the rope would droop to show them the sub had shrunk under pressure. Cool party trick.
It's not a technology you want to leave to people who "do their own research"
