1) I think it's useless to keep going back and forth with the power comparison. We know Furuta is strong because he is a V agent, trained since young, has Washuu lineage, able to infiltrate various ghoul groups, etc. He is the dark horse of the series, mysterious, and yet playful that make people underestimate him. The fight with Kaneki was staged for a reason. His tooth picking moment was a clue that he had to fight under "order" but at the same time he didn't want to kill anyone. So he did his job, as in "Look, I tried to stop Kaneki but I was too weak. Sorry everyone!". He would get a harder punishment from the higher up if he didn't fight at all. Therefore, his power can't be measured and I think it's meaningless. The story doesn't rely on who wins, it's the meaning of the fight and character progression after it. This is a seinen so think of the fight more critically, not a punching match like 1vs1 games.

2) Furuta's death would be pointless and it will contradict Ishida's writing. It's very anti-climatic and all the mysteries and plots revolve around him would go to waste. I know some people really hate him and I can understand why, but think with your head first and how Ishida usually writes his story before making such comments.
