They are great knives for sure. The only one I don't have is the 709 but I need to get one.

Do I think Buck will "bring back" any of the 700 series knives?
It's always possible. However, in my opinion, it is highly unlikely they will.
Look at all in the 300 series that have been dropped over the years. I believe the only (domestic) 300 series in production now is the 301 and 303. Personally, I don't see any of the discontinued 300 series knives making a comeback.
I don't know, but I suspect they were discontinued due to a lack of sales, making it impractical to continue manufacturing them.
It costs money to have inventory sitting long term on the shelves.
When I managed a couple convenience stores, and a liquor store, if an item sold between none to less than whatever inventory was on the shelf (6 to 24 items) or one case per week, it was put on sale until sold out, and was never re-ordered.

Welcome to the Buck forum. Well, you sure would not be lacking for one if they didn't. A quick check of the auction site finds 138 for sale in all sorts of variations.... have at em. There are always plenty for sale there.
Yes yes it would.
