A kalpa is a measure of time. Each kalpa ends with Alduin eating the world and time reverting back to Convention. It is borrowed directly (even the term kalpa) from Hinduism so if you have any knowledge on that look there for help. That's really all it is basically. We have a few shreds of info from previous kalpas but really it is a cyclical time format, nothing more.

Do all the same events happen in each kalpa?

No.This kalpa is special. In past kalpas the dreaugh ruled the world, Dagon was the Leaper Demon King and other stuff. This one is special for multiple reaons. The shattering of Aka, Talos, probably the only one to see people reach CHIM.

No. Different things happen, that's the whole point

How many times would Alduin have eaten the world causing time to revert back to Convention? Would the start of each kalpa 'restart' time back to 1E1?

Dude, way before that. The first era came about in King Eplear's time. It reverts back to Convention, then onto whatever era afterwards. In the current case, it was the Merethic Era
