You have no idea what you are talking about.

Please read our article on inheritance first before asking a question like this.

1 -....NO. You think Jon wouldn't be eligible because his father died before his grandfather? The way it works, yes, if the heir to the throne dies before the king, but has children, those children are the heirs. This specifically happened already with King Viserys I Targaryen, who directly succeeded his grandfather Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

2 - ....no distinction was ever made about being a "pure Targaryen" produced by an incestuous brother-sister marriage. In some generations there was no sister. Aegon V Targaryen, from the Tales of Dunk & Egg, married Betha Blackwood. There's no distinction.

3 - Jon's "bastard" status is a separate question which has been better articulated in other threads, I'm closing this one.
