5> Yes you can implement a Toffoli gate using other gates. The flaw here seems to be your belief that the CNOT is not a unitary transformation. A CNOT gate's transformation matrix is ((1, 0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0, 1), (0, 0, 1, 0)), and that's unitary.

I stand corrected.  Reaching 68% quantum.

This is a long way short of what is needed for error correction, which is generally thought to require 99.9%, but it is possible that error collection may be possible to accomplish with less than 99.9%
