If the last question is literal, then I'll go with Mandos' interpretation, and say that Finwe died first. 
But Finwe didn't die first, did he? Miriel did.  |
The last question is literal, but not
that flavour of literal. Neither Finwe nor Miriel are in the riddle.
(I believe Finwe was the first
slain in Aman; Miriel just died.)
