Lost has lost me - SPOILERS from 5/8 episode

So Claire has to have died in the cabin explosion, right? And she is now just one of the ghosts haunting the island, hanging out with daddy ghost?

And Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) is also ghost or just immortal? I suppose Abbingdon (Lance Reddick) could still be presently human since his scene took place much closer in time to current events but I'm not sure what role any of them is playing. Do they just work for Jacob and are trying to help Locke fulfill his destiny to come to the island? What was the point of Alpert's test in this? I get that by choosing the sand and the compass, child Locke was indicating that he was already tied to the island but why is the knife the wrong choice?

At least I understand what's going on on the freighter - I think. Please let there be some answers before the season ends or I might lose my mind trying to puzzle all of this out until next January!
