Haven't seen the movie, but I do know quite some things about Viking culture/history and thus may be able to help you out on some of your questions.
1 - The "Viking-hell", simply called "hel", is the place where all people who die of old age or disease go. It's not a bad place to go to, not at all, but it just doesn't have the luxury Valhalla has. Norse mythology doesn't have a hell like the Christians did.
2 - There are no "warriors that can't die" in Norse mythology. Even the gods are mortal (and most will die during Ragnarök actually). The fact that you call him one-eye does make me wonder if he could be Ódinn, as he's one-eyed himself (he stabbed his other eye to gain knowledge of past, present and future).
