Greetings lmp! Long time no see!
Arvedui never struck me as being a particularly strong character. The impression that I have of him is that he was rather weak. I personally doubt that he had what it takes to keep things together. However, if he had gone south, he might have engendered some children who were of sterner stuff.

1. Were the Rohirrim in Rohan by this time? If so, what status would they have had? If not, would they have been welcome?

They were not there yet, so who knows.

2. How long would this new kingdom have lasted?

Ummm, see next question.

3. What would have happened to the Witch King?
|
He would probably not overrun the northern kingdom because Arvedui would have brought help from the south. However, Angmar might have still been hanging around draining the Dunedain's resources.

5. How would a united Gondor have affected Elves and Dwarves; and Hobbits?

Probably not that much.
