On a related cosmological note are there other worlds in Ea?

Possibly, I would say. Why would Eru be in any way limited in creative power? But if those other world existed, none but their Creator could know.

Question Only Eru knows

That was a good question you asked, Rhun charioteer, about whether there are other worlds in Eä. I agree with you, Inziladun, that only Eru would know...

I always did consider it a fascinating question.

This is a bit of a more idle question-what do the Ainur who didn't descend into Ëa do? Sing to Iluvatar all the time(if time as a concept can be said to exist in the Timeless Halls).

Worship their Creator, and sit back to watch the Great Play he'd authored.
