Sorry, I just have been too busy lately...

1. I don't think Ishida was pressured, at least initially. I think he probably told everyone he is going to end :re by some date, plans for an anime were made accordingly, and then Ishida was more or less forced to roughly keep to his schedule. Well, he still seems to have missed his originally suggested end date by at least 6 months. But you notice it in the latter half of :re, when Ishida sometimes start building up some tension and then it just goes sideways or he tears it all down, and so there is not much payoff.

I won't speculate on Eto. Ishida seems to have left it to readers' imagination deliberately, so you can believe either outcome.
