I don't even know what to tell my siblings cause they think I'm geeky enough for more info on these stuff. And truth be told I'm not, that's why I ask you guys.

616 was the main universe, it's gone now.
They aren't making a reboot, more so a change of scene. Marvel's only real reboot was Heroes Reborn which lasted very short until they looped back to the main reality. What Marvel likes to do is brand their different jumping-in points like the Heroic Age, Marvel-NOW, and what not but they haven't left the main group of characters and their stories. The Hulk and Iron Man we read today are the same characters from the '60s and they've kept all of their journeys from then it's just that now they're moving into a new cleaner neighborhood.
Ultimate is not a New-52 deal it's just a different reality with zero ties to any other reality (not like how Age of Apocalypse is a splinter of 616).
The MCU is based on the general concepts and universal idea of the characters established in the original stories (Earth-616) with more contemporary elements borrowed from alternate realities like Ultimate.
