Okay, here's what I think in response to your questions:

1. I think that Jack would have lived if Rose had stayed in the lifeboat, he was a survivor, remember?

2. I'm not sure if Rose would have lived without Jack after the boat went down because there were a lot of crazy people in the water that night and she wouldn't have had the strength to fight them off.

3. I think Rose would have let herself die if Jack hadn't made her promise to survive. Remember how she lay her head down when she realised he was dead but then you could see her remembering the promise and her head popped straight up.

4. I honestly don't think that the wood could have held them both. Even if they found a way to distribute the weight evenly, it was too odd an object to try and keep both of them on there.

5. I also wish Jack had said the words "I love you" to Rose but he really didn't need to because he more than showed it with his actions.

6. I think that even if Rose had made Jack promise to survive, he would have had a pretty hard time keeping that promise given that he was up to his torso in below-freezing water without a lifejacket to keep him afloat.

7. I think if Jack lived they could have lived quite a happy life, Jack had been on his own since he was 15, so he knew how to survive.
