Anyone mind helping me clarify a few issues with the story?

Firstly, regarding how WAR prematurely came *snicker* to the Apocalypse;

How did he get there when only 6 of the 7 seals were broken by Heaven? Did Abbadon told Azreal to break the 7th seal and then reforge it? Or unless it's really his fault because the 7th seal was never broken at all.

I was only reading wiki entries and some youtube videos and they weren't really clear on this.

Secondly;

How was War freed from the Watcher's binding? Does getting stabbed and dying means the Watcher becomes unbound? If that's the case, how did War stood back up and raped Mr Watcher?

It's been a couple weeks or so since I finished Darksiders, so I'm not 100% positive on this stuff, but here I go.
Firstly,

Secondly,

In regards to the first question, Abaddon only planned on breaking the first six seals, and not getting the Riders in on the party. But the Council or whatever those three massive stone heads who sentence War at the beginning of the game are called found out about Abaddon's plan. They couldn't directly interfere for some reason, so they broke the seventh seal and then got Ulthane to reforge it.

I'm not sure the game even elaborates too much on this. I guess when War got shanked he just got SUPER pissed off and unleashed his godlike rage and smoked the Watcher. I mean, he's fucking WAR for Christ's sake. No pansy ass watcher demon can really keep him down.

I'm pretty sure that the council sent War because they knew something was going on, not sure about whether they broke the last seal and had it reforged or not, although i feel it didn't get broken.

And War owned the watcher because he regains full power or something when all the seals are broken. At which point the four horsemen become insanely powerful or something like that.
