I'm not talking about G-Man, I'm talking about everything else. The war against The Combine, mostly.

Yes, that is indeed left open to large parts. In my opinion Half-Life 2's story arc is about toppling the tower to give rise to a revolution against the Combine. And that happened as the G-Man froze time again and thus the inferred mission to stop the Combine assault was succesful with it even if we don't see it with our eyes.

Sure, and you are meant to wake up again, eventually. The story doesn't make sense as "you are a PhD that get enrolled as a spacetime warrior to get deployed once and then retired in the void eternally".
