I love the character Death too. I find him fascinating. I'm not sure how I feel about the newest lore on reapers (the "rogue reapers"). They aren't discussed in this meta, because I wrote this meta before they were introduced. But I agree that they are the most mysterious race on SPN.
When the pagan deities said that they were older than God, I think I interpreted that as them saying that they were older than the RELIGIONS of God. As in, they were worshiped before people worshiped only the one God. So, in that way, God has existed since the beginning, but was not necessarily worshiped since the beginning - or at least, not always.
It's an interesting question - whether God can move outside the universe. I'm not sure! Maybe that is where he is currently hiding? I do believe that other dimensions (like the French Mistake) are still inside the hourglass space.
