1.) I assume that gwyn is hallowed based on his appearance. If you look at his face in game or in a picture somewhere you can see it has the tightened skin and hollow eyes like the undead and his demeanor in just charging you is similiar to the hollowed people you come across early in the game. I believe he is still there because he sacrificed what ever humanity and power he had to continue to the age of fire, and by the time you arrive the first flame is nearly extiguished. When gwyn relit the flame and he along with all his knights perished I think that they were simply left behind as nobody is going back in there to see what happened. You see how melted the buildings are with all the ash on the ground in the kiln. You are not surviving in there while that flame is burning.
