There was not such thing as the fall of Rome and the rise of Byzantium. The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the empire, not the fall of the city of Rome. This part of this empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Byzantine empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman empire after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, the so-called Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire. As for Byzantium, the name of this city changed to Constantinople more than 100 years before the Byzantine period. Therefore, there was no such thing as the rise of Byzantium either as a city of as an empire. Six Roman Emperors were killed by the imperial guard, but these were long before the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire

During the period of the Roman Republic senators were enrolled for life. Former executive officers of state were given life membership of the Senate. However, the censors could suspend or strike off senators for misconduct. During the period of rule by emperors, the emperors appointed the senators.
It varied. The Byzantine emperors reigned for life. Some of the emperors reigned for along time, while others died shorty after their accession to power. The length of the reign of emperors also depended on the political stability of he empire. The empire went thought periods of instability which was usurper emperors and/or civil wars. In such periods power changed hands quickly.

The period of iconoclasm was primarily triggered by religious and political motivations. In the 8th and 9th centuries, Byzantine emperors, such as Leo III and his successors, initiated the destruction of religious icons and other religious imagery due to concerns of idolatry and the belief that they were distracting people from the true worship of God. This sparked a widespread movement of iconoclasm across the Byzantine Empire.
The Emperors Justinian and Basil II
Yes.
In the Orthodox the emperor claims authority over all religious leaders. And in the Roman Catholic the pope claims authority over all kings and emperors.
