*Unlikely to be Natalya, as natalya looks to be a demon hunter now (if you look at natalya's set flavour text, it says how she changed her ways and followed the path of the demon hunters)
Red=speculation which I personally believe to be most accurate
If one is stronger than the other and the weak man has the option of assuming that strength, wouldn't he? It isn't completely out of the question - the paladin might just be stronger than Tyreal, after all we killed Diablo with him where Tyrael failed?
Not necessarily, Tyrael was not able to kill Diablo because he didn't really committed anything against Angels, hence, it would not be just for him to strike the demon. Even his indirect actions and manipulations are being frowned upon by his siblings in the council to the point that he abandons his position and heritage, and falls from heavens.
The Person who killed the sorc, was the Mentor to the wizard. If you read closely he asks "how long she's known who killed (D2 Sorc's Name)" he is basically saying he's the one who did it because he didn't want a repeat of what happened to the village the wizard ruined.
the Necromancer, I'm not sure if it's him exactly but there's a random event in Act 2 somewhere I forgot where exactly, but it's around the alcarnus part of the story not the Zoltun Kulle part, It involves a Necro saying somethign about releasing and killing an evil or some shit and I killed the demon rather quickly and moved along and though huh what a nice way to bring back the Necro. This is no way a confirmation it's just a passing, might or might not be him.

Actually He can strike down anything unjust, no matter who it's been unjust to. It doesn't say the unjust action must be done to the high heavens, so El'druin could technically have saved leah. If it was the final strike it would have justly struck down the demons souls in Leah, but left leah alone. because technically Leah didn't do anything she was the victim of the worst tragedy ever.

Theres a necro in act 2 that is the disciple of D2's necro.
In addition, there is another event in Act 2 which features a "Dying Necromancer". This could quite possibly be the D2 Necromancer.
That"Dying Necromancer" actually says he used to be a student of a mighty necromancer "20 years ago" or something with 20 years anyway. Wasn't Diablo 2 20 years (in-game time) before D3?

'From a certain point of view' yes, but it was done at the hands, and decision, of an assassin. The whole story is the master of the mage clans recounting his recollections of the wizard for the assassin.
"I am Valthek, high councilor of the Vizjerei and master of the mage clans of the Yshari Sanctum."
...
I know that I told you much of that story when last we spoke, but I left out Li-Ming's part in it, for it was Isendra who concerned me then. You will no doubt agree that my actions were correct, but I am no monster. As always when faced with such situations, I felt a great sadness that I could not do as Li-Ming wished and help the people of Lut Bahadur. It was a familiar argument, and one that we had often. I sympathized with her more than she knew.
It was a short while later when you and I first met, for I worried over Isendra and what course of action she might undertake. In my heart I was certain that the matter was not closed.
I suspect you know some of what came next, details that I may not. This, I think, was where Li-Ming began to turn to the decision that led us to this disaster.
...
Then I saw what I had feared to see: Isendra, her body splayed out like a doll that had been carelessly cast aside. Blood pooled across the wooden floor from wounds on her arms and her stomach. Her skin was blackened in places, and her head was turned unnaturally to one side, her eyes looking vacantly at the floorboards.
...
I believe that was when Li-Ming began to understand the danger of her actions and what failure could mean. We did not speak again of Isendra's death until the last time I saw her. Did Li-Ming know why Isendra had died? Did she know how Isendra had been killed?
...
The first time we met, I told you only to watch Isendra for fear of what madness she might choose to undertake. I do not question the decision you made.
...
Here my knowledge of the wizard's story ends, and my decision awaits. When mages threatened to tear our world apart, a Vizjerei master founded the order of the assassins, the mage hunters, who would ensure that we could not grow so powerful that all would be imperiled. He stood here in my place, speaking to the first assassin just as we speak now, and consigned many a great mage to death.
For my part, this will be the second time I have done so.
I believe she knew that it was I who sent you to watch Isendra, and despite what that must mean, she let me live, knowing that as I once sealed Isendra's death, I might do the same to her.
...
I know the true nature of magic and of who and what I am. Li-Ming knows these things as well, but she has come to a different course. This is the puzzle put before us, assassin. I am not blind to the evil that stalks us, but I fear for what Li-Ming might seek to undertake. Thus I consign to death my brightest student, perhaps the world's best hope for salvation, and pray that I have chosen rightly.

My post clearly states his position pre-fall as it was his testament to truly carry out justice rather than being bound to the ancient rules of heaven.
However, the problem in the case in which Leah had the demon was no mere possession, being the demon's kin herself makes things twisted to the point that she would be more of a partial incarnation with self-conscious keeping it in check.
With Black Stone finally infused, she had been fully assimilated and the demon had taken the control.
However, this should not be mistaken as a form of suppression as she was a demon in essence.
Hence, striking down the demon would have also killed Leah as well.

Anyways, I always wondered if Kormac the Templar might be the D2 Paladin.
EDIT Nevermind, I see now you actually posted this well before I ever did.

No, Tyrael directly turns into a human after the "extraction" of his wings.
Not necessarily, Tyrael was not able to kill Diablo because he didn't really committed anything against Angels, hence, it would not be just for him to strike the demon. Even his indirect actions and manipulations are being frowned upon by his siblings in the council to the point that he abandons his position and heritage, and falls from heavens.
