Inosuke doesn't become a Hashira in the manga. The story progresses with him having other significant experiences and achievements instead of achieving that specific position.
It's hard to give an exact number. Different story arcs and battles led to the deaths of multiple hashira. Some died heroically, while others met their fate in unexpected ways. The count changes as the manga progresses.
Definitely not. Genya remains outside the ranks of Hashira throughout the manga. This is because of a combination of factors such as his skills, experiences, and the overall direction of the story.
He might be shocked. In the fanfic, if he sees things like his friends' future achievements or the new threats that emerge, it would surely startle him. For example, if he discovers that one of his friends has a family of their own and has become a great leader in the village, he would be proud but also a bit surprised at how much has changed.
With his usual determination. Naruto has always been one to face difficulties head - on. So, even if he's shocked by what he sees in the fanfic's future, he'll likely try to find solutions immediately.
