Nope.
The story goes as this: After the old world blew up slaanesh went on and gorged on souls (a short story goes a bit on detail... it's not nice, trust me). This were aelven (or elven, suit your taste, let's keep it lawyer friendly though) souls in 99.999%. Of course, tyrion and malekith wouldn't like having their kin trapped. Thus tzeentch, wanting to divide the gods that were resisting chaos, undisciosed the location to tyrion and co. The elven gods hurried to fight the god, which was in a vulnerable state. They, though, couldn't kill slaanesh, and trapped it in a jar (kind of like the genie) and hid it somewhere in the realms of Ulgu or Hysh..., most likely the early though. This shattered the slaaneshi but weakened the pantheon enough to properly begin the Age of Chaos that would bring the downfall of most civilization barring tribes and hidden enclaves like Excelsis and the Sylvaneth glades.
But here's the kicker: there's a bunch of slaaneshi warbands roving across the realms of Hysh and Ulgu (shadow and light, where malekith/malerion-whichever suits your tastes- and tyrion and teclis have their domains) and Archaon sent a massive army to each realm, so ♥♥♥♥ will hit the fan. It's pretty much hinted since the early days that they'll liberate slaanesh and this will make a mess. It wouldn't surprise me though, things haven't gone very well: book 1 and 2 of the campaigns went a-ok for Order but book 3 was a massive defeat, with a whole continent wiped out and said posterboys slaughtered prior to that event. Book 4 was kind of a stalemate/minor victory. But yeah, Slaanesh is still there, ready to ♥♥♥♥ up ♥♥♥♥ as it likes to do whenever they release its campaign (rumor is that it's going to be spring next year).
No clue. Tyrion, Teclis, and Malerion cornered him in a cave and freed the elven souls he gorged himself on. No one has seen him since and the Horned Rat was elevated to a Major Chaos God, but is still not respected. Archaon even spit on him as I recall. He might be dead, or imprisoned, or in some kind of recovery state.
Edit.
Thorough ninja. Good to know though.
Yeah, the beginning was... less than stellar to be honest. This is actually an issue I have. They should have begun with the climax of the age of chaos: everything is falling down, all hope is lost. THEN, you bring the stormcasts. First show the chaos warriors, then showcase what is going to be your answer against them (I mean, Stormcasts are just that, the Order version of CW, they are even barbarians that still need to fulfill their physiological needs regularly like normal humans)
Oh yeah, those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are an even bigger problem and more fearsome since they:
a) Can spawn ANYWHERE. I literally mean this, they can get behind the throne of Khorne now (and they need to for a few items needed to make plagues for skaven pestilens).
b) Are huge in numbers. Skavens numbered in the billions with 6 clans. Now they have somewhere along the ballpark of low quadrillions and thousands of clans divided in six groups (the original six).
c) Pestilens plagues are horrible. Trust me, their descriptions and narrative doesn't come short to the original setting.
