Greetings,
I haven't used RE's on this build, but I used them extensively on the previous build. I found them to be just ok. Someone who takes the time to plant them right or takes the time to learn how to use them as grenades deserves it. In and of themselves they are not real easy to use, deploying them is as slow as deploying nanohives / drop uplinks, and after they are deployed you still need to manually trigger them. No, RE's are just okay.
If / When CCP decides to make the demolitions skill useful and gives different levels of remote explosives my evaluation may change, but so far... Meh.

Once you plant the RE's they remain active until you detonate them, they are blown up by someone, or you commit suicide.

Same here. If I am in a game with a known demolitions person, I tend to avoid the common travel areas and pay very close attention to the objectives. In my opinion this is how it should be.

Actually, unless this has been changed with the current build, scouts will still die to their own remote explosives if they are within the blast radius. On the previous build I died multiple times to my own remote explosives.

Unless I am mis-understanding your terminology, then yes, you can continue to hold the trigger and your gun will continue to file as you are going down. Your grenades will still explode, your nanohive will continue to provide ammo all the way up until you commit suicide.
