Actually it's more complicated. So...

Q1. The heir to the throne does not have to be the Prince of Wales - it's a title invested by the monarch. So while Mortimer is the heir he doesn't have to be the PoW.

Q2. No, he becomes king at the death of Henry and Mortimer.

Q3. As soon as Edgar is born Bernard drops to third in line to the throne (joys of primogeniture). So Lucas would only be PoW if Edgar gives him the title. There is no hopper of ranks - all titles are either directly inherited or are invested by the monarch.

Q4. It's up to the King. It's likely that once Edgar was born that Bernard would have been given a hereditary title, but again, that's really up to Henry...

Q5. Yes, she'd probably keep the title, unless it was specifically removed by the monarch, which is one reason why Lucas is unlikely to be PoW.

Ah, the joys of the feudal system. It all really boils down to the "one man, one vote" system. The king is the man, and he has the vote.
