having 404 warnings is ok, so long as the page in fact does not exist.

google displays it as a warning because they think it should be there. if you deleted it, it will no longer be there and should rightly 404

These changes should not have had a negative impact on your traffic.

AW is basic server stats. Alexa isnt' really meant for analyzing traffic for webmasters, but more for outside sources. Analytics is very accurate and detailed.

Analytics is embedded in the site to track pageviews.

Alexa is toolbar based. Not everyone that visitors your site will have that. Therefore, Alexa bases its ranking on statistical estimates, not precise data.
