1) FGB jettisoned before deorbit burn of course. If it's required it could stay on orbit as independent spacecraft.
2) In case of emergency LAS would save VA only. During the launch FGB remains unmanned so there is no reason to save it.
No offense, but if you don't know something it doesn't really mean that this is not exist.

TKS had a LES that you already deleted :) It was intended to save vessel in case of abort on launch pad and in the max Q part of trajectory. Unfortunately i cant remember timings of LES jettison...
I can hardly believe that you can find 7k BO in which you could get in to make 360 deg panorama. I've been recently in National Cosmonautics Museum in Moscow at took few stills of BO though the protective glass, cant say however what exactly BO was 7k or 7k-T.
If you need this stills i can send...
Development of a next part (missions until S6) of ISS addon has been started recently.
Regarding Nauka module, despite the fact that launch is scheduled for 2012, personally i do not believe that it happens in next 2-3 years.
Well, we are not searching for easiest way to launch lunar mission, but for the realistic one, based on existing technology. And at this point i believe that production of KVTK is more probable than recovery of the Energia or N1.
It is an interesting idea, but we still dont have Kouru launchpad...
