A new question: if Frodo was dead and Sam had done the job, would Gandalf and Gwaihir be able to find and rescue Frodo before it was all too late?

What do you mean lathspell? If Frodo was dead, there's no reason to rescue him in the first place. It would be too late if he was dead. If Sam succeeded alone, Gwaihir & Gandalf would rescue Sam only at Mount Doom. Then probably the Men of Gondor & Ithilien would reach Cirith Ungol to kill the Orcs & free the Haradrim/Easterlings (cf: The Field of Cormallen), and take Frodo's body to Minas Tirith eventually.
