We don't know. It might be Chico, it might be Ishmael, it could be some random MSF soldier we don't know of yet, it could be anyone.

Regarding Big Boss's arm, most likely due to injury. The clones have already been created by that time.

We don't know if Ishmael is any of those characters, although I doubt it's Python due to his obviously not having some sort of coolant.

Might be, but still likely to be Mantis.

We don't have much in the way of identities, though his attire suggests its Ocelot.

No idea.

Its implied to be 1983.

We don't know much of the plot, so whether he reassumes FOXHOUND by this game or after is anyones guess.

FOXHOUND was already created long before Diamond Dogs. FOX most likely was a factor in the name, due to having taken down FOX in 1970.

Can't say either way, though likely.

We don't know.

We don't know.

It's heavily implied that he/they are indeed behind XOF.

We don't know, nothing mentions it other than a teaser.

Since we have little to work with, there's not much to speculate on. One thing that's for certain, however, is that it is still two games.
