Hey there, well barely today I finsihed reading vol. 17 so I think I'll be able to answer those questions:

1. He wakes up in vol.18 since we're left with a huge cliffhanger at the end of vol. 17

2. She tries to find Kirito, who has been "Kidnapped" by RATH. Once she finds him she doesn't do much, only thing she does is hope for him to wake up. In vol. 16 she finally decides to dive in with another STL since his soul is in a very delicate state, the only things he can do is eat, sleep and uh...well, that's it. Asuna logs in with a super account: Goddess of creation Stacia. Once she's inside she helps to defend the Human Empire from the Dark Territory forces and some American players that logged in with their amuspheres (I'll leave that aside).

3. Yes and no. Unless you live under a rock (lol) you should know that at the end of the movie a black screen with a "SAO will return" text was shown, but nobody has confirmed it 100%.

4. The light novel series is most probably not over yet, it's currently on vol. 19 which is titled "Cradle of the moon", it's a side-arc inside of underworld and some people say that vol. 20 is going to be a second part of it, nothing has been confirmed.

I summarized everything, but maybe someone else wil give you a more detailed answer!
