I think we should really read into the script more before we come up with new theories. Like Mentar mentioned, almost every line in this show is carefully constructed.

You meant "first" time?
And yes, the term Kyuubee used was "killed". No other interpretation.
As for what the "new" Kyuubee said about himself when he showed up:
「替わりはいくらでもあるけど」
"Even though there are always replacements"
To me, the "replacement" there means Kyuubee's body. That makes me think Kyuubee actually works quite similar to MG - his soul exists in a separate form.

Therefore, I'm really hesitant to believe that all too many iterations have happened so far, based on that. Of course, there may have been lots of different timelines where Homura had sieved QB without him knowing, and one can argue that QB's memory only spans THIS timeline, but... if you subscribe to this theory, then it's strange that _Madoka_ remembers. Unless it means that Homura and Madoka have met in _this_ timeline.

Kyuubee definitely only has knowledge of this timeline, assuming you believe:
1. Homura came from the future and she contracted with Kyuubee; and
2. He didn't lie when he said he knew almost nothing about Homura.

"Time manipulation" (時間操作) was what Kyuubee called her magic, so Mentar, sorry but I would also have to agree that Homura can stop time, otherwise that "manipulation" power of hers is quite weak.
