One - A paradise because they would be free from the influence of Morgoth, Sauron, or any other evil. True this wasn't the case for the Noldor, but Melkor was loose then. If man is informed that death is his gift, then all is well.
How could the Valar teach to men that death was a gift to them, if Men would age and wither, while the Valar and Eldar would endure in age and joy. How can that be explained? How can men not be jealous of that?

Two - This sounds very similar to the Fall of Numenor, man's jealousy over the immortals. Man would cause much woe, and they would be exiled from Aman.
I agree with this.

Would they know where the elves were, or would they stay in the Halls of Mandos? If it's the second case, I don't think it would be like Hell, unless it should be for some.
When I say Aman, i don't mean the Hall of Mandos.
