That is a fairly good description of him! He's basically the anti-Xehanort--connecting everyone to himself but for purposes of good and not evil.
Given Terra's canon flash-forward, he did clearly see Riku coming, although probably not the bad bits. And given what we saw in 3Ds, I think Mickey had an inkling from the very beginning. (On a random and fairly hilarious note, I accidentally pulled a Terra while at Gencon when we were in line to get into the costume contest. I let a teensy little girl hold my keyblade and it was only at RM's giggling that I realized what I'd done.)
Yeah, I liked that too. Especially given what we now know about hearts and nobodies--of course he's Axel and not Lea, definitely not Lea how he used to be. (Frisbees: not so good for fighting Xehanorts.) Also that headcanon is interesting--doesn't quite fit for Sora and Kairi though, but they're exceptions to every rule just like Riku is, so. Not sure where I'm going with that other than I'm interested to see what's up with the restored!Org and whether or not Ienzo's holding a grudge or is just happy to be a person again.
Given what's indicated by the graveyard, it was years and we don't know how long ago the war was. Or how long it took to get to that point. I'm not sure even Yen Sid is old enough to be the first of the Light, but he might be old enough to be the only survivor of the war, since it's not a stretch to assume that he's the one who trained Xehanort and Eraqus. And that is indeed the question! Especially given that Mickey flat-out says that Riku's a new thing, so clearly he's not built the same way as Riku is, even if philosophically they're on the same keel.
