Would be nice to butterfly away Phil Hartman's death and have him play Troy McClure in live action 
But there's nothing stopping Fox from doing bizarro live-action sitcoms with a core cast of about the same size, it just needs some inventive writing to differentiate it from the traditional family or workplace sitcoms of the pre-Seinfeld, pre-Friends late '80s.

HAHA! Yeah. Maybe we get a McBain movie as well, if that's successful.
It's most likely just a pipe dream to have any live action versions of anything Simpsons related. The Simpsons needed to be a success for there to be a consideration of anything like that.
It would be an interesting thing to see the live action Krusty the Klown show, as was proposed as a spin off, and it's interesting to think that idea would be cannibalized from the wreck of the Simpsons and put into action. I don't know if you can manage to, though, because why would a cartoon guy like Matt Groening get a live action show after a failed animated series?
That depends. If he's passionate enough, he'll want to continue it in some form.
It doesn't matter what he wants. It matters what the network will do.
That could be awful; when Mudoch's Sky bought out BSB, they might try putting this on Fox (possibly more than one episode this time!)One path for Fox is to go down the path of Married... With Children, and make more and more live-action dysfunctional family sitcoms.
