But the Indiana Jones chronicles showed Indy in modern day as a withered old man with an eye patch (and a nasty scar)
GL considers this show to be canon and part of the Indy mythos so he's not likely to contradict it.
I'm not sure how the grail functioned before coming to the temple, perhaps it didn't. I'm just going by what is said in the movie, if you wish to remain immortal you cannot leave. Indy and his dad are not immortal at the end of Last crusade, nor do I expect that were granted any extension of life, the lesson that they both learned was to let things go and enjoy life.
As for Elsa (I use to have a big crush on her) I'm not sure if she's alive or not, that had never occured to me. It would be kind of creepy if she was alive for all time buried under the rocks.
As a side note, that whole scene where she falls into the pit while reaching for the grail is directly ripped off from an episode of the old Adam West Batman show where Catwoman falls to her death in a cave crevice while reaching for a bag of jewels. Its almost shot for shot the same as what transpires in IJatLC.
