Questions:
How does the door open in flight?
Isn’t the slide attached to the aircraft?
if the door opens and releases the slide, why didn’t the slide trail back off the wing?
Pictures of the slide on the ground shows it folded up as would be when it’s stored in the aircraft,... could the slide have impacted the rear stab causing damage?
So many questions.

It's there. It's only a question of what your definition of there is. Determining whether it's "airworthy" or not simply requires a pump.

Unlikely to hit the aircraft due to the downward airflow at the back of the wing.

Right. I think there have been quite a few reports. An AD was issued about three years ago:

The folks in Milton, Mass. are grumpy about this:
Boeing Was Warned
