so much questions to answer i am so buffed!!!

I just watched the anime series and movie recently as well. From what I have interpreted, people don't enter earth as we know it from Amestris, the world with alchemy, just from dieing. I think they can only do that by using alchemy to open the gate. Neither Ed nor Al died, but they did sacrifice their mind body and souls for each other's survival in Amestris. Ed almost died, but Al mentioned that his body was still warm. I think there may be better explainations in the thread about episode 51.
