That's about right. There is a best time to plant grass seed for your
particular location so you may need to overseed at that time. Use a
starter fertilizer, protect with straw, keep moist.

What happened to the tree- In the sense of was the tree dead, if so
did it die naturally of old age, or was it diseased?

Huh?? What happened to the material that came out of the hole? Mix
the soil with the tree chips and refill the hole - it'll make good
compost.

Not necessarily -- walnut, for example, is quite nasty chemically for
growing much of anything else. Many other species have their own
characteristics that are less than desirable as compost material--the
high tannic acid content of oak, for another example.
