Cool video, thanks for posting.
To answer the questions.
They did take some wolves alive - to keep in captivity.
We don't know how many camera setups it took to take those short clips, so I don't think this is a setup.
When the scent hounds chase the wolf and bark (bay?) the skill of the guy(s) on a horse holding the sight hounds is to position himself close to the exit of the wolf into the open space, where the sight hounds (such as borzoi) are released, catch and sometimes kill the wolf.
They did also hunt with scent hounds only.
