Radioactive elements were formed in the last moments of a collapsing star, so even those were formed during fusion.
That is true. I guess it depends on how much of the heat is generated via fission processes and how much is just stored from planetary accretion. I don't have any numbers for that at this moment, but I will certainly concede that geothermal is fusion-assisted lol.
