Why it is a wrong way? Even by trying to answer those questions you mentioned you can only come up with a theory, test it, and then drop it or refine it if it didn't pass.
That's quite a consistent and effective method that is being used in any field of knowledge.


Anyway

Magic: if someone still has doubts about what magic is in umineko it would probably better for him to give up.
Shrine: It's not necessarily relevant or absolutely important to reach the answer. There are many theories but there are too few info to reach a conclusive answer.
Rokkenjima/Mansion layout: It's hardly of any relevance. If it was important Ryuukishi himself had the duty to explain it in detail in accordance with the Knox rules. This is not something that can be guessed or deduced. We do have a few info about this, but nothing that can allow us to make a consistent blueprint.
Who is Beatrice: Shannon, or whichever is the real persona behind her. She's also the "man from 19 years before".
Who has an alibi? For which Episode, for which murder? Anyway we have already traced a list of people that can't possibly be the culprit some time ago.
Whodunnit? Who did what? The serial murder? The explosion? Is there a serial murder at all? If there is, is it the same who planned the explosion?

The rest of the questions have the same problem as this one. Umineko isn't really a classic mystery novel. It would be to naive to think of it as one.
