You will find out what happened to the bodies left in the arena in the Denouement.

This question will be answered in detail in the post-mortem!

About how much footage relevant to the deaths is released in the supercut? Does it include any events that immediately precede the deaths, or is it limited to only the actual moments of killy murder?

As an example (totally definitely unrelated to any nefarious agendas i would have), for David's death, would the footage be:
a.) the entirety of the thread (including all the bits where David is looking for Astrid in the boiler room and such)
b.) just the chase sequence, David tripping on a rock or whatever, and then him getting eaten
or c.) just David getting eaten

[Yonagoda]

Hypothetically when EXACTLY did it start really getting out that the students are kidnapped and not dead, and when EXACTLY did it get out that there are survivors?

In addition, whats the amount of detail on who's kidnapped/survived? Because I assume thay local news would broadcast on the bus crash and what details there are, and people could work backwards, AND also Astrid tweeted, which then still leaves a couple students she didnt list.

Also, what specifically did the police ask/do while the students are in custody?

Per your examples, it would be option B. Enough context to understand what was going on immediately prior to the death, but with a focus on the kill.

Hypothetically when EXACTLY did it start really getting out that the students are kidnapped and not dead, and when EXACTLY did it get out that there are survivors?

For the former, October 25th (the day after the Bloodhound's interview with Thomas Brewer, the bus driver). For the latter, the same day that they were rescued, October 26th.

In addition, whats the amount of detail on who's kidnapped/survived? Because I assume thay local news would broadcast on the bus crash and what details there are, and people could work backwards, AND also Astrid tweeted, which then still leaves a couple students she didnt list.

As of a day or so after the rescue, all the survivors would be known (at least to the people local to Bend), per all the surviving students being rescued.

Also, what specifically did the police ask/do while the students are in custody?

This is a tough question to answer and would depend a lot on what answers were given. Standard battery of questions (what's your name? what happened? who did this?) would be asked to almost everyone, but after that it's basically up to the handler as to the specifics.

The only qualifier I'd mention is that unless a student admitted to committing a murder, the police questioning would be fairly non-confrontational, and wouldn't get taken to an interrogation room. Students who DID admit to a murder (or accused another survivor of murder) would expect to get a full interrogation, though how confrontational it ended up being depends on how forthcoming the student is.

Following up on that last question, how confrontational would the police be for an accidental death? And would it be reasonable for them to bring in a translator for Cecilia?

Highly confrontational (but not aggressive, as that's standard procedure), and yes.

[Salic]

Is there a limit about how far in the future Aftermath threads can take place? (ie a month, six months)?

Aftermath covers the in-game month taking place after the game.

Would you be able to tell Nora poisoned Orion from the clip, or would it just show Joel's kill?

There would be a bit of context. The clip would show the poisoning, then Orion dying, then Joel's kill (with the context between cut out). She's not off the hook! ;)
