Yes, people can go unconscious without dying. If the party member is dead, their death sprite is very obviously a corpse (most of them are pretty gruesome), and double clicking will bring up a death box inventory like it does for dead enemies; otherwise they just lie down on the ground like they're sleeping. Yes, this can also happen to the Avatar, and what you described is what is supposed to happen (similar behaviour to the original - you can access the save/load menu and press z to see stats but can do little else - you can't interact with the world because you're unconscious!), although this was not the case in Exult until relatively recently. However, I also had trouble once recently with the Avatar seeming to wake up from unconsciousness but not quite - (as you said, ambulatory but unable to do anything else and health still at 0 or below) - that is a bug.
The case of the party members dying in fire but the alive body still seeming to be present as well sounds like a bug - you could file a report on that if you like. (I remember a similar bug in the original, especially after <spoiler - you know what> in Serpent Isle, but I don't know if this is related to that.) The freeze walking in the swamp is also obviously a bug and is definitely worth reporting, with as much detail as you can muster, and a savegame if possible (if you can provide a savegame that requires minimal steps to reproduce the problem - like, "if I load this savegame and immediately walk straight south, the game freezes every time" or something like that, that'd be ideal).
