Is RIM going to block, brick, or discontinue the Dev Alpha in any sort of way and is the Dev Alpha A fully functional with a SIM card on a carrier and so forth like a normal Z10?

I believe I heard some were that blackberry said we will not be disabling the devices, therefore we are not going to ask for them back, and yes, the DAC with the new OS update 10.1 has calling and texting functionality as long as it's activated with a SIM card of course.

16. When will my Dev Alpha device be disabled?

If you've updated to the 10.1 SDK OS build, your device will continue to work beyond the June 30th date, with no imposed expiry date embedded in the OS.

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha A hardware will continue to be officially unsupported and the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B hardware will join those same ranks on June 30th, but if you want to continue to developing apps against those devices beyond that date, you're welcome to do so.
