In the video it shows the setup with all of the blades in a line, pointing in the same direction. How would that produce the effect shown later of the painting being shredded into strips? Do we assume he twisted each blade 90 degrees before installing in the frame?

Well, since we see it being shredded, I'd say "yes", if you remove your qualification word "before", or clarify meaning by inserting the proper word after "installing". I can't tell if you mean "before installing them" meaning "the blades" or "before installing the painting".
They might get installed in a "safe" way so that they won't shred if the motor somehow turns on without the blades first being armed. Or maybe they are intentionally installed that way and a shaped roller pushes them against the blades, even if they are laid flat.
In short: who cares -- it shredded. I don't care if the full mechanism or method is shown. It clearly worked, at least partially.
Looks like it. A half-shredded canvas is still the original canvas, while a fully shredded canvas woud be a destroyed canvas. The first one increases in value as is, while the second one would be worthless.
What do you mean "confirms"? You thought it was perhaps some frame-shredder installing gnomes who live in the auction house's secret underground tunnels?

Whether that was intentional or not, I wouldn't know.
