What do you mean? Majority of who die to influenza, die due indirect
causes; co-infections and organ failures.
I don't think there is any difference in how the deaths are counted.

I think it is the other way around. Only when we have enough
epidemiological data, we can say how many extra deaths were due to the
corona. IE how many healthy people die unexpectedly post the recovery to
the infection.
Now we only know that corona causes complications like strokes etc, but we
don't know the prevalence, because a lot of the cases are too much
separated by time.

Depends on the amount of new infections and the peak infection rate, but
nothing suggests that the number wouldn't raise.
