That bad encryption was not cracked for now. The other one, that is used to process chats between 2 users in end to end mode, can't be enabled by default because it assumes no history is kept and no support for group chats.
Also, the arrest doesn't seem to be related to any of the things you mentioned. If anything it shows there are no ways for (certain) governments to affect the messenger, for now.
There's no need if you control the server.
End to end encryption was created specifically so that the server could not access the data.
That's right, but it's not properly implemented in Telegram. https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1177.pdf
