Most of these questions are nitpickings. So far, the only thing that perhaps needs clarification is Zalama’s story, which might be in the plans for future plot points.
I know. But it still raise my interests since until clarification, that constitues inconsistencies for me. And I kinda like all that is lore related.
And some of theses questions could have huge implications regarding the plot.
The Kaioshin/Hakaishin life link already was a main issue in Future Trunks arc.
Also, If someone just dies ( killed by someone other than Zeno, so not technically erased ) at the Zeno world, does he goes to an alternate afterlife or is he simply erased from existence?
Does Zalama's have less, equal or more power than Zeno?

Well, you can take the guidebooks information about Toribot. It establishes him as someone above Zeno. Seeing as he is referred to as "ultimate ruler" or something.
Kaioshin of Time rules over timelines.
Well, regarding Toribot, for personal tastes, I would absolutely HATE him to be a thing in universe.
I mean, I don't mind small 4th wall breaking for humoristic purposes. I assimilate that to the magical machine gun that appears ex nihilo in Bulma's hands when she goes ballistic.
But I wouldn't stand big 4th wall breaking interfering with the main plot. For me, Toriyama or his avatar should remain separated with his work in universe.
Talk me about Deus ex machina, it would be one of the worse kind DB ever had. Worse than Zeno button.
Now, let's talk about the Kaioshin of time. Whoever rules over timelines should be above Zeno, hierarchy wise.
Why ? Well, first the ruler should not be cloned each time one additionnal timeline is created. But Zeno was. Then that would make timelines boss a unique being while there are multiple incarnations of Zeno.
Then, the timelines ruler rules over... multiple timelines while each incarnation of Zeno rule over a single timeline. And timeline isn't exactly the right term, since we don't know if Zeno can time travel freely, he is just the ruler of the present multiverse.
The multiple timelines are kinda multiples multiverse. In real world that kind of multiverses
( who are nearly identical from one another but diverged from one another by small changes) are named level 2 multiverse in meta-science.
So, knowing that, would you think the job would be given to a mere Kaioshin ? Even "of time" ?
The Kaioshin of time made her debuts in Heroes right? It was waaay before DBS, Zalama and Zeno were a concept. So it wouldn't be surprising that Toriyama retcon it.
After all, the Kaioshin of Time never appeared in the main continuity. We've seen more problematic retcons before.
