#2 Its the French, so for God's sake, rebuild it like it was, not some hideous attempt at modernity, please!

#3 Minarets will come after the conquest. See St Sophia's in Constantinople.

#4 Last I heard people calling for a 'Reimagining' were roundly thumped silent, and the techniques for repair were to be as authentic as possible, down to selecting and harvesting the timber.

I don't think it will be the same, but if so, awfully close. There will be techniques nobody remembers, changes for the sake of safety, and maybe some material substitutions such as with lead. Off the cuff, I don't think the structure requires the weight of the roof for long term stability.
