*** Reinstall the guy with no Firebending? Reinstall the girl gibbering in a padded cell? As of the end of the series there are only two people of the royal Fire Nation bloodline who are physically capable of acting as sovereign, and they're both on the Avatar's side. Their rebellion has no claimants to back.

**** Monarchs always want to have more than one child, in case something happens to their first kid. Sozin and Azulon probably had siblings, so I'm sure that Ozai has cousins, second cousins, etc. who could claim the throne.

***** One, we don't even know if they exist. Two, if they did exist they'd know perfectly well that Iroh could crush any of their skulls in an Agni Kai without breathing hard, Zuko's now almost that good, and if all else fails there's this guy called 'The Avatar' who likes the Fire Nation government in the current shape that it is post-war and would insist that it remain that way. Insist ''loudly''.
*** Yeah, you know the whole "no firebending" and "in a padded cell" thing? That happens '''after''' the battle is effectively over. Iroh and the White Lotus are old and wise, ''but they're not clairvoyant.'' They'll have no way of knowing that Aang is going to strip Ozai of his firebending or that Azula will go nuts. All they know is that there's a huge number of Fire Nation troops in Ba Sing Se, and they'll cause trouble if they're not dealt with, and may attempt to reinstall either Ozai or Azula. Ozai loses his firebending and Azula goes completely nuts after the Lotus made the decision to focus on Ba Sing Se.

*** Um, the White Lotus was ''entirely aware'' that Aang was going to take on Ozai, and Zuko & Katara were going after Azula. It was all part of a coordinated attack plan. The overall scheme assumed that all three mission teams would be successful... which, yes, is somewhat minus on "plan B", but its the last hour before the apocalypse and its all down to the band of plucky heroes to save the world, that's not exactly uncommon in such situations.
