Pest websites typically are ones that should not be trusted.
Eating the old queen could provide food yes, but it does not fertilize the sterile female workers. Yes, workers have been known to lay eggs on rare occasions, however they only produce males as they are not fertilized.
Typically when a queen does the colony is 100% doomed. They will still take care of the brood and find food but at a much slower pace. I have heard in certain species they will capture another queen and force her to lay eggs to continue on the colony.

Yeah. With queens, there are a number of different things that happen for each circumstance depending on the species.
