2. What Happens To Jaime?

There is no way that was the end of Jaime Lannister. As outlined here, the character's arc is far from over, and killing him in this scene doesn't make any sense. But when he is eventually pulled from the water, what will become of him?

Will he be taken prisoner by Daenerys? It's something we've seen before with Jaime, which led to one big change, and perhaps this would lead to an even bigger one, in turning him against Cersei (or at least making him realise the damage she's doing, and what the real fight is). Or his capture could be used to hurt Cersei, given he's the last person she still cares about.

Alternatively, there's the possibility that he escapes. Given the blast of fire, it's possible that no one saw him and Bronn go into the water, and if Dany turned away at that point, they might've been able to make their getaway and return safely to King's Landing.
