I too was confused about the ending of Flash and also posed the argument of present events being changed when Eddie shot himself. The only conclusion I came up with that made any sense was that Eddie Thawne not dead, Eobard is not dead or rather they were dead. Obviously Eddie died but whose to say what happened to his body once he was sucked into the time wormhole? Possibly he was thrust somewhere where he was brought back to life and then eventually set back in motion the events that lead us back to where we are. I'm sure the writers considered all of this especially when the main theme of the story deals with time travel and the chain of events that follows. I mean if Eobard is dead then the Flash's biggest adversary is dead and as you said nothing would be the same. So it's only logical to assume that Eddie will survive. As for the helmet...this one threw me off for a moment itself. I frankly don't think it's Jay Garrick's helmet. I mean what connection does he and Thawne have? Have they even met? For all we know it very well could be the Kingdom Come Wally West which would make much more sense to me.
