International: Seoul, Frankfrut, Toronto, Tokyo. Paris could also work in my opinion.
Domestic: St. Louis upgraded to year-round, Albuquerque.
As for routes that probably won't happen but I want: Buffalo NY, Madison WI, Reykjavík/Keflavíkurflugvöllur Iceland

Can any additional destinations be supported and will succeed? What other air carriers do we need at Austin?

Absolutely. Korean Air, Lufthansa, ANA or JAL.

Does Austin need more air carriers like Texas Star that flies smaller prop planes to smaller Texas cities? Would Southwest flying to Mexico City be a success?

Need? Perhaps. I think the big restriction is that a lot of areas just aren't covered by
EAS which Texas Sky will be using to operate their routes. Personally I feel that an AUS-MEX route on Southwest would be more successful than the Aeromar flight. Honestly I think that any larger company such as AeroMéxico would have a bit more success. I feel like brand name recognition is a big player in the issues with Aeromar's route. If I'm not mistaken the only other US destination they serve is McAllen and I feel like the fact that they're relatively unknown is a big factor.

I'll answer this quickly with my first impression.
Yes, maybe, maybe, yes, no, maybe, no, no, maybe

Absolutely, absolutely, yes, yes, maybe, yes, maybe, no, maybe, maybe, probably, I wouldn't be surprised.
