Nicely put..The corpse is still interred in his grave.
No.
It's up to the person/s who contracted a DNA matching service whether they release the result of a gedmatch of living persons to the public. They'll need to consult with the two families that the match says are related even though the common ancestor is deceased.
IMO the only value of knowing is that it extinguished any possibility of the theory that Somerton Man was the father of Robin Thomson as it's someone else. Releasing details in my opinion would just result in living descendants having to bear with unwarranted and possibly salacious media attention.
There is no possibility that Somerton Man DNA can be found via Robin's descendants so you'll have to either wait to the corpse to be exhumed or better technology to be employed with what samples we got, like the hair from the plaster cast etc.
