Life (in dwarf fortress) is a cocophany of flavours, each more succulent than the last - why not sample them all?!

Check the legends. But I don't think it is even possible, as world history doesn't continue while you are playing fortress mode, basically nothing happens in world outside.

No, but you can sometimes get a few caravans or migrants from your civ, that had already gone down before you embarked. Your fort could be the last bastion of your civilization.
