1) Timelines that has been created cannot be erased. Just like you can't alter the past, you can't alter the continuum of something that is settle. What you can erase are possible futures where the Stones are not in place in their own universes. ​​​​​​ Exactly. All of the trips we saw, even Hawkeye's brief one, created alternate timelines. 1940's, 2012 and 2014 especially are too far gone, but the others, while still alternate timelines due to the smallest of details and interactions, will follow the same general path as the MCU does.
