This is very much an open research problem, and there is no standard tool in CoreNLP to handle this. For the first two questions, however, you can look at the dependency graph (parse or depparse annotator) of the sentence, and notice that Tiger is nsubj of killed, whereas dog is the dobj of killed. This can answer simple questions like who verb'd the noun (nusbj of verb) and noun verb'd who (dobj of verb). But this is just one special case: no general purpose tool exists for this. Really, I don't know of any system, research or otherwise, that can figure out that the dog is not alive (in the sufficiently general case).
