I don't know how multiboot works, but:
For (1), try to open all the Nitdroid kernels...
If it tries to start but crashes, that means the kernel is present but the File system isn't.
If it doesn't, start, means the kernels aren't present, check if the FileSystem is present:
If you have more partitions than me, that's where your ND is installed.
For the current kernel
For 4-
You'd need to claim the emmc space used by the ND partition. Don't know if a NitDroid uninstaller exists. If it doesn't you'd need to unmount all the mmcblk0 partitions, make a swapoff, delete ND partition and resize with fdisk.
I don't know how to uninstall multiboot, But I read that installing uboot deletes it. Then you can overwrite uboot with the KP (the non uboot version).
Consider making a complete backup, then reflash, then restore the backup. It'll be easier and faster than reading how to do all the things above.

Define "new". It will not clean your scratched screan, worn out keyboard or broken USB. But it will get you a fresh start including wiping all your custom data.

I've installed NITDroid long time ago but I don't remember if I've un-installed it or not, but most probably I did.
I've been facing a problem in the Multiboot menu of my device
As you can see, many versions of NITDroid and power kernel
1- How to know if I've NITDroid installed still or not, and how to safe uninstall it and wipe out all its related files ?!
2- How to remove the Mulitboot as I had only Ultimte BOOTLoder and I've un-installed.
3- How to know what kernel I'm working on now ?! As I've updated the latest kernel power to v52 and it's not shown in the Mulitboot menu
4- All what I want is a clean system with kernel power v52 ONLY installed, no older versions of kernel power and no NITDroid
Thanks
