It means that the heads of the schools are always on the panel. Are 
you asking if DD, Karkaroff and Maxime were on the panel in 1792? 
That wouldn't make sense, they weren't even alive back then!

I think he did it to maintain his cover. He had to behave and do 
exactly as the real Moody would have done, it was the only way to 
make sure DD didn't catch on to what he was really doing. Teaching 
Harry to throw off the Imperius Curse probably did help Harry out to 
a degree, but getting his cover blown too early in the game would 
have hurt LV's chances more than teaching Harry did.

Tom Riddle used Avada Kedavra on them. Nagini's not a basilisk, 
she's just a regular snake. Probably a poisonous snake, but not a 
basilisk. Basilisks are supposed to be really rare, I think it says 
something about that in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
