Yellow is technically not a throttle but a "Fuel Flow Control Lever", (FFCL).

Guarded switch is the Hydraulic cut off switch.

Based upon everything I have seen and heard:

This was a photo shoot with FlyNyon, which is a tour specifically with doors off and people harnessed in to the floor.

No the passengers do not wear immersion suits.

It appears thee front right float did not inflate fully, causing the right roll.

Yes you will still have some rotation of the blades even after full pitch pull in an autorotational flare.

Flat light, over calm water, looked to me like a good auto, maybe mis-judged the attitude at the end a bit is all.
