I couldn't agree more about the whole "The indoctrination theory" and it doesn't make much sense once you think about it.

To answer your questions, here is what I think: With Anderson and the beam, what if he just got there while Shepard was knocked out on the ground. TMI being on the citadel, probably managed to sneak in somehow or just hid there. I think people do care about your death or people don't realize your dead. Joker saving your friends, well for my ending my romance (Ashley) didn't go with me and Vega didn't go either so those two survived while me, Garrus :( and Javik died. Shooting the device probably overloads the thing and causes an explosion, grabbing rods could probably have had some power to erase you, cyborg creation thing is easily explained because you jumped into a beam and you're a cyborg turning you into energy and sending you across the galaxy blah blah blah. You not shooting from a distance, Shepard probably accepted his fate let himself die.

I can't answer about the consequence of destroying synthetic life or if people starved to death. I hope my answers helped.
