I don't think we actually know why she went on hiatus for so long (last I heard the manga is supposed to return this year): the threats, an actual health problem, or just a big "fuck you" to the idiots. But if there's one thing I don't think played a role in the decision, its sales for the series, which are among the highest for a 2008 show. When I consider Kannagi and Evangelion, I can't help but wonder if death threats actually are a good sign for a series financial viability.
That said, I don't think Kyoto would do a harem spin-off of K-On! because I don't think harem antics are what the fanbase wants from the show, and I'm pretty sure they've come to the same conclusion - there really isn't a precedent for a harem show having K-On!like levels of success.
As for the "is Angel Beats by Key or just their employees", I was under the impression that Key did have some involvement with the project. And I can't help but think that the reason the show ended up at PA Works may have been partly due to the show blatantly mimicking Haruhi in some respects.
