1. The difference between the pendant prank and Andre being the intended first born is that choosing the pendant, while being completely useless, doesn't change the story at all, while making Andre the firstborn would have had a huge impact on the lore itself.

2. We know for a fact that the Firstborn lost the annals and lost his deific status for it. Annals are a record of events, something physical, not simply refusing to accept a manipulated image. There is no evidence that the Firstborn was against it, much less evidence that he cared enough to do something about it.

3. Gwyn had used his own soul, or what was left of it, as kindling for the first flame. His soul would have been slowly burned away, leaving him hollowed (not necessarily in the same sense that the Undead are). Seath used the crystal to become a True Undead, not a hollow. He was driven to madness long before he had achieved immortality.
