Reanimated corpse question

Hello.

I have a question about the "Reanimated Corpse" thanatosis card.

Reanimated Corpse
[X Blood]
Zombie with 2 life. 2 strength, 2 bleed.
[thn] Put X pathos counters on this corpse when it enters play. During your untap phase, burn 1 pathos counter. Remove the corpse from the game if it has no pathos counters. The corpse can play combat cards that require basic Fortitude [for] as a vampire.
[THN] As above, but put 2 additional pathos counters on the corpse

I use something like Pressing Flesh to make him come back to play :

Pressing Flesh
+1 stealth action.
[thn] Choose an ally that was burned from play. Move that ally from the ash heap to your ready region with this card and life equal to its starting life. This ally is a zombie instead of what it used to be, gets -1 bleed, cannot gain life, and may play cards that require basic Fortitude [for] as a vampire.
[THN] As above, but with an additional life.

1 - If I understand well, I put the Reanimated Corpse with 0 pathos counter ? (Inferior level, no X)
2 - is the Reanimated corpse removed from play immediatly, or do I wait my next untap ? (in other words, is the "remove from play" a part of the untap event, or a permanent statement)

1) Correct.

2) Immediately. If an effect moved/burned a the last Pathos counter off it somehow at another time, it would also die at that time.

Correct.
