1: using another flashpoint to create the tomorrowverse (Justice League Dark: Apokolips war) after 80-90% of the cast is killed off and billions lives are fated to die Flash and Constantine hatch up a plan to kill baby Darkseid to prevent the entire story from happening which just leads to an entirely different universe being formed and even erasing some characters from existence.

2: Jim travelling to the beginning (Tales of Arcadia series) after multiple characters die including Toby Jim uses a magic gem to travel back to the very first episode but instead lets Toby find the amulet… this changes things how?

Fate/Grand-Order part 2 did this. The basics are that the entire journey the protagonists went through up to that point took place in an alternate timeline, a 'Losbelt' (keep in mind, the protagonists have been destroying other Losbelts so that they couldn't overtake baseline reality). And the climax is basically stopping the big bad from overwriting baseline Earth with his own curated one, thus resetting everything back to the original timeline of Proper Human History. And the only one who remembers the story of the game can only remember 5 minutes worth of memories of it.

Of course, despite this Fate lore is insane enough that that is by no means the end (and F/GO in particular is presumably a huge cash cow, so no way they're ending there). Pretty sure Type-Moon has already announced part 3.

Are the main characters still alive but different versions or are they just erased from existence?

We see the proper history versions of the main characters meet in a train station, yes.
