Why is he "off"? Todd suffers from bouts of depression, believing himself to be inadequate on multiple levels. This eventually transforms into more fun and worse conditions.
Why did he molest Isabella? When did it start? Most likely at the age of 11, when he enters Hogwarts. He's fairly shy, and again feels inadequate compared to other children there. He begins going to his sister for nurture and support, and eventually gets this idea that she's the only girl that would ever like or love him. He then begins pursuing her in a romantic fashion, which she first allows (why?) but then eventually begins to tell him no (his 1st-3rd year). At this point Todd starts threatening to worsen his self harm if she doesn't allow him to touch and fondle her. She once more complies, not wanting her brother to harm himself even more (fears suicide?) though eventually refuses him despite the threats (4th year). It's at this point that Todd begins getting forceful with her, as at this point he's significantly bigger than she and she possibly doesn't want to hurt him in rebuttal (5th-6th)? He also now has a hormonal boost where his "small" affections of kissing and cuddling become a lot more sexual (ie coaxing her to strip down, fingering, kissing her breasts, etc).
As an effect Isabella comes to fear men, love and commitment, except for her father, who she always viewed as her protector. Because of this she begins a pretty aggressive sexual pursuit of him after she graduates. It's unclear how long this lasts, but it can be easily said that Lucian is not at all happy with this, particularly when Gloria is victimized from it.
Why did he try to rape Alex? It's during his 7th year that he attempts to rape Alex. It can perhaps be said that Alex effectively takes place of Isabella in her ways of giving him affection and attention. While many girls happily toss themselves his way for a quickie, Alex does not, and this irritates the hell out of him. In a moment when his mind is clouded with sexual desire, he decides that he'll show her how amazing it is to have sex with him and that it is definitely worth it. As known this definitely backfires when Alex stabs him in the hand with the knife that Lucian gave her because she was fearful of getting raped after all the issues of molestation she had with other boys. This renders his left hand pretty useless for life. After this he starts taking medication that calms him down.
A week after the attempt Alex tries to slit her throat, but Todd plunges his own knife into himself to keep her from doing as such.
Two weeks after the attempted rape Todd tries to kill himself by slitting his wrists out in the stables, the first real outward reaction of knowing what he tried to do.
Why does Alex forgive him? This is more of a question for you rather than me, but from what I understand Alex still has this idea that Todd will protect her from any other threat other than himself. She seems to fall into a spot of victim blaming (again it seems wrongly assumed that Lucian is angry with Alex as opposed to Todd, whereas he's pretty pissed that his son tried to rape someone). Regardless after the whole incident she forgives him and tells him she loves him (what).
Apparently after they graduate they don't see each other for awhile, and when they do bump into one another Alex retains that she still loves him.
Why did he marry Alex while he was with Angela? A note that this is actually mentioned backwards most of the time: Todd was with ANGELA before he was technically with Alex. Isabelle is older than Scorpius. Technically he cheated on Angela with Alex first. He decided to marry Alex because he wanted to continue to keep Angela a secret. In a manner it could be called a shotgun wedding for this happens after Scorpius is born. He does love Alex, but it's possible he sought after some sort of normalcy with someone (Angela) who didn't know anything of his past or didn't have any sort of expectations from him.
Why did he fake his death?
When his father had a very bad and violent backlash with some fun stuff related to werewolfism, Todd killed a few men (killing curse) to keep his mother safe. I think it could be said that he'd be wanted for a spell. (...Ahahaaaa. Oh god, bad pun).
2. The glourious tango of shifting back and forth between Alex and Angela AND having kids with both of them. He wanted away from it for awhile.
3. His and Alex's kids are goddamn terrible. Well, Scorpius is, but Mylos is a
Iittle beast on his own under the full moon.
In his suicide note he still mentions nothing of Angela, but requests that Alex stay close or live with his parents because they would be able to assist with the kids more than he was ever capable.
Where did he go for the 7 years? He strays, mostly living off the land as a foreign species. He avoided contact for the duration, however he did make it a point to occasionally appear at both Alex and Angela's homes.
Why does he never come out of his animagus form? God knows. It can be said because he's just about a shell of himself, looking mighty sickly and thin. Gloria has been the only one to see him out of it, and for the time being it'll be said that Lucian doesn't care to use a spell to pull him out of it for he feels as though he's failed quite a few people in relation to Todd, including Todd himself.
In his fox form he takes to nipping at people and generally causes low level amounts of chaos. He pays no mind to his kids, but when Alex is around he'll sit on her shoulder or in her bosom.
Though they were close prior to Todd's disappearance, Todd fox takes to nipping Devlin a lot due to his close bond with Isabella. After Isabella tells Devlin of the abuse she suffered from their brother Devlin pretty much forgoes any sort of brotherly love he had for him.
