Subject: God Emperor of Dune

I just finished God Emperor of Dune. I was expecting a lot more flashbacks, given how people have filled in the gaps (i.e. the rest of Ghanima's life).

There are three things that I don't quite get that are really bugging me:

1. Did Leto give Moneo and Siona the Water of Life during their tests? If he did, then they can recall some of their ancestors and possibly be prescient, right?
2. I understand that the sandtrout needed water, so when they got the opportunity after Leto fell from the bridge, they went off in their own directions. The adult sandworm was still a part of Leto when he died, right?
3. Some people have said how leto still lived through the sandtrout that left. Is that just a figure of speech or is there really a part of Leto and his consciousness in them? I wonder about this because Leto didn't really have much to do with their life processes, did he? It's just the worm part of him, right?

If someone or some people could clarify these, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
