You have basically stated what I believe myself.

1. I think that as fundemental concepts, the lord souls can be your soul, but all living things gain a soul as well. Humans are born with a soul, but are made human from their humanity, and the gods are such because of their souls being accomponied by a fragment of Gwyn's soul.

2. I've noticed that, despite being small, the soul of Dark is able to expand and strengthen, so as it spreads through descendends of those who hold a fragment, like any lord soul, and grows in power and size, allowing all humans to trace their origins back.

3. Not really, but as shown with Manus, the humanity of an individual can change and be altered by emotion, as when he went mad in the cells of Oolacile, his humanity responded to his mind and expanded into the first Abyss.

4. As you can claim the strength of anything by taking their soul, perhaps animals and even other gods can have the peacful humanity, should they ever kill a human.

Just imagine the world of Manus before his burial, where humans were the dark sorcerers, and their power could destroy the gods with one magic cast.
