Wouldnt blue umbrella give him and mia vaccines ( Seen in end of zoe. ) to them before the events of village?
You will not find a person in the series who could return to their original form after infection and treatment. Humans remain mutants because viruses contain RNA and change human physiology.
Also ı'm still confused by how mold works.
Just like any other pathogen that originated from the Progenitor virus.
Why could Jack Baker restore his brain from scratch, for example? According to early sources, viruses can allow life forms to regenerate even from a tissue sample, so, apparently, in the world of Resident Evil, the double helix of DNA contains memory and "blueprints" of the structure of the human body.
I dont think the virus that's involved in this is t-veronica.
Nah. I don't think any of the retroviruses created by Umbrella are related to the fungus. The developers could have implied the t-Veronica virus when they made a reference to the early 1999 and the HCF, but the new game did not develop this line.
Most likely, the fungus evolved in the wild because of the Progenitor virus, and Miranda experimented on it separately. Spencer, who knew her, was not interested in using a fungus that had evolved, but in finding the key to evolution itself, so he found it in Africa.
One of the reasons why ı think that way is cause of moreau's mutation which has classic eyeballs involved.
Such eyes are another characteristic of the Progenitor virus. For example, Spencer's Blob and Pedro's had such eyes as well, but they didn't mutate due to the G-Virus.
The C-Virus came much later, when people used viruses that were designed for human evolution and weaponized them.
About duke; are we supposed to treat him as purely gameplay mechanic just like merchant in re4? Or more than that?
The game mentions that the Duke did business with Dimitrescu, so he exists as a character. Moreover, he mentions his old friend from Resident Evil 4, so maybe the world has a supranational union of neutral merchants, lol.

Apparently, at some stage, the developers planned Ada Wong, but she does not particularly fit this narrative, so, apparently, her role was insignificant:
