First thing is first... Suzaku has no Geass... Well technically he doesn't. What he actually has is a order placed in him by Lelcouche to "live on". Suzaku figured out how to use it to actually amplify his own abilities.

Second, Lelouche is very much alive. The sad part is that he could never make a real appearance as such a thing would cause all sorts of problems. His living is confirmed in multiple situations. One, his promised to CC about having her die with a smile was not yet met. This means Lelouche probably attained a form of immortality similar to that of his father Charles upon making this promise. Lastly, as stated below the extended version does indeed show a smile with a face remarkably like Lelouche's.
