As for your second question G-d cares how you act far more then what you believe. Everybody has a share in the world to come based on their deeds.

As for your first question; Jesus did not fulfill the Major Prophecies such as:
A. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).

B. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).

C. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)

D. Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world -- on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).

The historical fact is that Jesus fulfilled none of these messianic prophecies

The Midevil sage Maimonides more or less says that we don't know precisely what will occur. You will find a range of opinions about what will or will not happen. What is definate is that the temple will rebuilt and all the Jews will return to Israel (and whoever the Messiah is will be the one directing it). There are supposed to be incredible miracles and the major area of uncertainty is the way the world will be as effect, ranging from as we know it today to being completely different (I guess I could call it fantasy like but this is the Messiah we are talking about). Naturally, I'm sure everyone likes the ones who say the fantasy ones more but after all - they could be right, these were great scholars who claimed so. Anyhow, it is supposed to turn to the world towards God and return them to all recognize him.

About non-Jews and God dealing with them. Non-Jews can earn a share in the afterlife reward by being righteous. Not being Jewish is not a crime and one is not expected to convert there are 7 basic universal laws to follow (e.g. no theft) known as the Noahide commandments and doing this is just find and doing whatever you feel would be good to serve God better would get you even more reward (as long as it doesn't include killing Jews).

the messiah will come as a human leader who will lead all the Jews back to Israel and God and bring about a heaven on earth of no war and sickness, just pure belief and worship. Some say that he will do this by leading in a war towards victory, some say that that may not be the case.

People of other religions will choose to learn about God and Judaism (though they may not want to convert, they will abandon any elements of their religions which are idolatrous).

God is our savior. God is not coming to earth as a human. The messiah (annointed one) will be the king of Israel when there is peace on earth. The messiah alone will not bring peace on earth -- we all work together as a team to bring peace -- God, the people Israel, and eventually "the messiah." Any and all are welcome to join us in our quest for peace. The only prerequisites are belief in one God, observance of more than 200 commandments, and circumcision for men.

As for people of "other faiths." All the righteous of the nations have a share in the world to come. God does not discriminate. We are the "chosen people" for special obligations to God, not for special rewards.

1) Possibly lead us in the final war against Gog and Magog, rebuild our Temple, gather us all back to our land, and be our king, judging well and favorably.
2) As long as you keep the 7 Commandments of Noah's decendants, you'll go to Heaven The seven are:No stealing, murder, adultery/incest/homosexuality, eating an animal while it's alive, cursing G-d, idolatry (May or may not include Christianity, doesn't include Islam, does include Hinduism), and you must set up courts to enfoce these.
Some of this isn't written in the Torah, but has been passed down.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1::::

According to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, messiah -- one who is anointed. These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:

1)The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6)

Which is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37.

2)The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14)

But Jesus had no children.

3)The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9)

Obviously there is no peace. Furthermore, Jesus said that his purpose in coming was to bring a sword, and not peace (see Matthew 10:34)

4)The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16)

But the world remains steeped in idolatry.

5)The Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2);

But the world remains steeped in idolatry.

6)The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of Gd is Gd (Isaiah 11:9)

But the world remains steeped in idolatry.

7)The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9)

It isn't.

8)The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24)

Many of the ten lost tribes remain lost.

9)The Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28)

It hasn't been rebuilt.

10)There will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30)

People starve to death every day.

11)After the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8)

People die every day.

None of the following has happened, yet, either:::

12)Eventually the dead will be resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Ezekiel 37:12-13; Isaiah 43:5-6);

13)The nations of the earth will help the Jews, materially (Isaiah 60:5-6; 60:10-12;

14)The Jews will be sought out for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23);

15)All weapons will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9,12);

16)The Nile will run dry (Isaiah 11:15)

17)Monthly, the trees of Israel will yield their fruit (Ezekiel 47:12);

18)Each tribe of Israel will receive and settle their inherited land (Ezekiel 47:13-13);

19)The nations of the earth will recognize that they have been wrong, that the Jews have been right, and that the sins of the Gentile nations, their persecutions and the murders they committed, have been borne by the Jewish people (Isaiah 53)

These Biblically based changes in the world are very real, very perceivable, very noticeable, and knowable. But the changes that Christianity claims were made by Jesus are not perceivable at all. They must be accepted on faith, and faith alone. How can one know that Jesus died for their sins, except by faith? How can one know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, except by the faith in the historical truth of the Christian’s New Testament? There is no birth certificate. The changes made by the Messiah according to Judaism are very provable, but the changes made by the Messiah, Jesus, according to Christianity can only be taken on faith.

Even Christians recognize that none of the changes made by the Messiah according to Judaism as read in the Bible have not happened yet. This is why Christianity invented the idea of a Second Coming. The real Messiah has no need to come a second time to do those things he must do the first time around in order to actually be the Messiah.

Quite simply, we Jews invented the term, “messiah.” When we are told by those of the Christian faith (which includes the “Jews” for Jesus and the Messianic “Jews” and the “Hebrew” Christians) that our definition, the Jewish definition of “messiah” is incorrect, it is like someone who does not speak English telling a person whose native tongue is English that the word “electrician” means someone who fixes the plumbing.

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION 2::::

The bible says that Gd gave the false religions to other peoples, its theirs, but that we Jews are not to be taken in by them, or become like them, see verses 19-20 below::::

Deuteronomy 4:15-20 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Etrnl spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: 16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Etrnl thy Gd hath given unto all nations under the whole heaven. 20 But the Etrnl hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
