What is the official origin of (para)genasi in Eberron? I would guess something like:
{table=head]Parent 1's family||Parent 2's Family
Outsider/Human 1||Outsider/Human 2
...
Relative of Outsider/Human 1||Relative of Outsider/Human 2
|Genasi|[/table]

I don't understand your chart, but the elemental blood need only pass down one side of the family. As to where they come from, they come from ancestors mixing with elemental beings, same as in any campaign.

I laughed so hard when I read that. +1 Internet.

With the use of elementals for power, I wouldn't be surprised if there were cases of people gaining elemental blood from industrial accidents. Just making stuff up here.

Given that the Mournland is known to harbor living spells, well, this might not be as far off the mark as you think. :smalleek:

(But I don't think I'd want to watch.)

If memory serves (and this probably came from Keith Baker, back when he regularly answered questions on the WotC forums, rather than an official source), planetouched are rare on Eberron and generally result from pre-natal exposure to planar energies, like the mother spending time in a manifest zone while the linked plane is coterminous.
