Inasmuch as the evidence of his presence was left all over the house, he wasn't yet in the clear by any means. Although he left the basement in flames, I'd have been more comforted by an end scene with the entire house engulfed in flames in the background. The dead bodies on the road were dismissable as murder-suicide.
Given how remote we're told the nearest neighbors are, I think the audience can reasonable conclude the house burned to the ground. No doubt the official investigation will pin everything on the groundskeeper/Grandpa.

If the house burns down, yes, the groundskeeper/Grandpa (with the rifle still in his hands) will take the blame.

My second question was...how on earth did the blind guy win that 'silent' auction??

Remember he had been a champion runner who had been beaten out by Jesse Owens in being a member of the '36 Olympics team.
One of the better things about the movie is that except for one intentional "stuff jumping out at you " scene, everything else was connected and had a purpose in the plot.

Not sure yet how I feel about this film. Right off the bat, my reaction is...meh. It was so hyped up and I didn't think it was as great as everyone thought. It reminded me of that movie The Skeleton Key (Which I loved), but this one was pretty boring.
I think she smiled because she knew he couldn't follow through. The back story with his mom explains that.
Well, that explained why he picked up the grandmother.
