Not impossible for some sort of a royalist retreat to occur, but it would not be the imperial family. They had many chances to flee with the Brits otl, and refused. No way that changes.

The otl claimant after the revolution could very well go there and rule a small state in the aftermath, mind.

If Russia remains a monarchy, no need for such a refuge. If you mean that the Reds flee there, not possible, given territory.

Assuming that you meant the latest PoD, probably a century and a half, minimum. Took Japan half that time to build up and lose, so with the larger population, and the goal of winning, I figure that it would take at least double the time.

If China keeps that area, that island goes to Japan.

No.

Can find no reference to that general. Song never came close to managing that, from what I can tell, though the Jinn vassalized them for a while. Had they managed to be a threat to Xia, Jin would have used the opening to attack. And even if the Song managed it, the Mongols would have kicked their teeth in.

No way they stop the Mongols.
