Is the Passenger Property Questionnaire the final deciding factor for settling the claim? Or will my receipts be the deciding factor?
No, the PIR is just a preliminary document; the actual claim can be filed later.

Yes, if this was a R/T ticket.

Can they do this considering that it appears to be a breach of the Montreal Convention? They say that since I signed and filled in the property questionnaire they are not bound to reimburse me for any additional items.
No and no.

Based on what you have described, you certainly do. However, this should not be considered legal advice.
