As for the Angels wanting to destroy Sanctuary, it was 4 on 3, to save (with one of them abstaining, which in D3 Tyreal claims was counted against...not sure how that works). It wasn't JUST Tyreal who voted to save, he was just the final, deciding vote. I don't have a copy of the Sin Wars, so I can't look it up, but I'm pretty sure how that vote went down. Imperius did want to destory them all, simply because we're part Demon. And for the Angels/Nephalem being buddy buddy, we only really see the Angels who liked us more in the first place, and I don't think you can read too much into Tyreal retaking his place on the Council, because, as he was originally an Angel, it is unlikely the others would consider him "half demon," like the would a mortal.
The whole Diablo/Mephisto souls still being around is, imo, a retcon. If I remember right, the whole point of using the Hellforge in D2 was that was the only way to destroy the stone AND the soul. If you just shatter it, then the soul is free to roam, as Diablo did just before Diablo 1 (Lazerous shattered it). After being broken, it would serve as an anchor, making it impossible to kick the soul out of Sanctuary. There is talk about someplace called, I believe, "the abyss" (in Sin Wars, I believe). This is appearently where demon souls get cast out to, if they aren't cast back into Hell. Lilith has been there, and back, a few times, so it is possible that is where they went. It's also entirely possible that Blizz will just spin it that Diablo and Mephisto SHOULD have been destroyed, but the destruction of the Worldstone some how let them back in.
As for where it goes from here, it will probably have something to do with the Black Soulstone, Adria, and/or Imperius. If they wanted to have some good symmetry with D2, then the expansion would be something about Imperious trying to destroy Sanctuary. But that's just a guess. Honestly, I don't care, as long as we have more Shen.
