That's only if your caviar is spermiated. I'm not sure if you know how fish procreate, but the fact is that it is far easier to get caviar than fish. The females basically "dump" eggs and disappear, and then the male sometimes come around and leave sperm in the general area, some of which reacts with eggs. And most caviar these days is produced in tanks, with no males. Granted, you could put males into the tanks and produce tons of fish, but the fact is that the fish fodder, which is usually produced from soya, required to bring up that much fish is better put straight into people, rather than fish, and you'll get a lot more people fed. Eating animals is just no way of making more efficient use of our resources. If you are looking for ways to feed the masses, you'll get a lot more bang for the buck out of soyabeans.

I don't think that could happen. 1. Caviar are unfertilized and cannot grow up. 2. We'd have an over population of fish thus either taking up too many human resources, or overflowing natural ones.

It would not make any difference. If we did not eat the eggs, even then only one individual from a million eggs would survive till adulthood.

It depends on the survival rate of the species in that region environment.
