1. No.

2. Those allowed Celestia to track Twilight's progress.

3. No one knows the answer to that one, but it is possible.

4. She stopped both of them once already via the Elements. Now that those Elements are no longer hers, she allows the Mane 6 to wield them against the likes of Discord. Also, defending the empire from Sombra was one of Twilight's tests.

5. No, but it is clear that she wanted Twilight to find other ponies that could utilize the Elements.
