Technically by the rules, yes. They are immune to taking Morale Checks FOR ANY
FURTHER CASUALTIES INFLICTED. They are still forced to make checks for
Daemons, Bugs and Close Combat.

I personally think they should, but by the rules no.

Only if they fail the morale check they are required to make for falling Back
and being engaged in Close Combat. If they fail this check, they are then
routed and removed from play.

Again, by the rules, they don't need to make anymore checks if they pass the
check for being broken, regardless of further casualties. Personally, they
should have make more checks the more casualties they take, but the rules say
otherwise. Perhaps its somethign we need at look at?
