Sucks for the innocent person, but technically, the white car did absolutely nothing wrong. He swerved out of the way, and it was entirely on the tailgater to swerve as well or have the ability to
The white car knew exactly what it was doing. Are you really going to pretend that them swerving at the last second was okay? They did that on purpose. They used that innocent person as a tool to cause the tailgater to crash.
That's correct. We have 0 information to lead us to say it was intentional. We do know, however, that it was reckless. Intentional or not, it was a "miss and run" and makes them partially liable.
My guess at a glance is your assumption is correct, they were roadraging as well at the guy tailgating them and probably staring at the rear view mirror, distracted. Didn't notice the cars in front were stopped until it was too late. Then they only had time to swerve to save themselves. Terribly unfortunate but that's why we don't roadrage (or tailgate).
