That's absolutely ludicrous
We have absolutely *no* proof if any world passed the test before or not. There's only the crow telling about it, and we already know that it will tell everyone the most absurd lies when it wants - see the totally bogus story it told Rei. As such, we shouldn't take *anything* the crow says at face value.
I really can't imagine that *no* world passed the test before. If those super beings devised a test, then it can be passed. If they were malicious, they would simply destroy the worlds and not bother with any tests.
No, it's actualy the crow that's malicious to the core, and who doesn't want anyone to pass the test, because it loves to destroy worlds. See the several times where it gleefully tortured Rei, and see where it chided Rei for helping that boy.
It certainly wasn't the super beings intention that no one passed the test, but as they're busy with other things (even a super being can't be everywhere at the same time), they picked someone to do the tests. It's just that they picked the totally wrong being with the crow. Should they get to know how badly the crow handled everything, they probably won't be amused.

Yes, most likely - the destruction of the Incarnation Engine will make the energy go out of control and destroy the world.
It's not neccessarily that they failed at the test or anything. We've seen now that the crow *doesn't want* anyone to pass the test, no matter what. So either the crow managed to destroy their Engine by itself with the Alone, or it did the same it tried here - enlist the help of someone else from yet another world to help it with destroying the engine by telling him/her some retarded story, and that someone succeded, and thus the Engine, and with it the world, was destroyed.
