To answer some of your questions:

1. status - datu perhaps or a little lower rank if it is a work/everyday wear with the tail missing.

2. banati wood is burled/root wood

3. it is Moro, though does not look borneo to me and thus I doubt the scorpion is useful in this context.

4. need to see other side of scabbard to tell you more.
