I imagine it was destroyed in whatever destroyed their house, or buried
with him.

Ditto.

Presumably the same thing that happens to their clothes and jewelry and
money and stuff. The spell seems to include one's immediate "stuff" (I
doubt it would take things like purses, but stuff on one's person like
rings and clothes seem to be included as part of the "self"
transforming).

> 4) Voldemort's wand when he lost his physical form,

Multiple speculation. I give most credence to the thought that some
supporter of Voldemort's either accompanied him (he was, after all,
going to face two people of apparently considerable power) and retrieved
the wand, or showed up right after and got it before anyone else
arrived.

I bet they're destroyed.

> 6) Neville's parents' wands when they went to the hospital,

I bet the family is keeping those, in the forlorn hope that they might
someday recover, or just to remember them by.

I'm thinking you must mean, why haven't we heard what his wand
composition is? Because all the students have wands, they have to.
