All good questions I think. Good enough to grab your attention!
As for "cannot NOT exist", you are right that it is a double negative which seems, literally, to mean, "can exist". So how would you word it? Some things' existences are contingent/conditional upon the existence of some other thing. How would describe any thing that isn't?
