Okay, maybe they were the very first ones and did not know about the immortality stuff. Still, they would discover it within a decade or two by seeing themselves not aging at all. The Incubus Emperor left a body when Simon slew him. I don't think the question of why one would build a tomb has been answered satisfactorily, but your explanation is possible. 2) It is strongly implied that the place were Wendis died was a resting place for an ancient King, whose body was stored in a sarcophagus. How did he manage to die, have a body to place inside a sarcophagus, store his shard in his body or sarcophagus and prevent his soul from dissolving entirely? It makes little sense. Maybe he didn't have any sex and starved, like the IK responsible for the Dark Ruin. The body thing isn't valid; see above. Storing the shard was presumably magic, like what the Lustlord did to the Chosen skeleton, what Riala did to the golden shard, and what Robin temporarily did to the Emperor's shard until they were in a good situation to implant it carefully into Simon.
