Now that she is 'past' the scope of the loop, she has no idea what will happen. Her faith in course correction was related to the fact that past events were made possible by future events yet to take place. For example, no matter what happens, Flight 815 must crash on the island, because if it doesn't, then Faraday and the freighter never comes, never time-travels, and she never shoots her son. She KNOWS future events are unavoidable, because they are connected to past events. What makes you say that Ben stays with the Others forever and never returns to Dharma? I think the storyline points towards Ben being returned to Dharma and still initiating the Purge and killing his own father. Nothing about the storyline we've seen so far suggests that Ben couldn't have been away from Dharma for a couple of days being revived with the Others and then returned. With regards to Ethan, I think you answered your own question. How did Ethan become an Other? Well, his mother was holding an Ankh and his father is dead...seems like perhaps she's an Other and raised him as such.
