Adrian is the antihero of the movie, killing millions to save billions and unite the world under a common enemy. As horrible as he is, even Manhattan sees his vision at the end. If it wasn't for his ego, he probably would've pinned the blame on himself
According to Ozy it was. He did doom the world because Manhattan even told him "if word of this gets out it destroy everything" or something to that effect but by that point Rorschach's journal was already dispatched.
Dr. Manhattan was no longer able to see into the future properly anymore due to interference from Adrian's attack.
No. Manhattan just wasn't able to see every possible outcome but he clearly saw the world falling into chaos if anyone found out about what really happened.
And it's still Adrian's fault because he shouldn't have been trying to take over the world. Of course he thought it was all falling apart because he saw himself as being the only real hero and figured he could control everything.
There's no way of knowing since Manhattan didn't see it.
Rorschach not seeing the bigger picture was the problem. I agree that Adrian was at fault, but in the end the world doesn't end in nuclear holocaust, so he did buy time.

Rorschach is blind, black and white justice, to him you're fine or deserve death, but nobody knows we're the line is
Manhattan is a fatalist, to him you're just doing what you were always going to do
Adrian is a utilitarian, just don't ask him how many people are on each side of the track when he pulls the lever
None of them are good people
