Yes. Of course, the term "Godhead" is simply a 17th century word that means "godhood" or the state of being divine.

It appears to be that way.

3. Must we be able to fully explain God?

No, because we can't. It is only when we go home to be with Him that we will know even as we are known.

4. Does our salvation hinge on our views of the Godhead?

That depends on whether one's view includes Jesus being both fully divine and fully human.

5. Did God die on the cross? - That's WH's question.

NO! This was Cyril's vile error and the error of the Council that opposed Nestorius (because Cyril and the Council were trying to justify calling Mary the mother of God). Those things pertaining to Jesus' divinity do not pertain to His humanity and those things pertaining to His humanity do not pertain to His divinity.
