To get a copy of the death certificate you need to contact the Office of Vital Records; here's a link with the information: http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/ContactUs.aspx.
As to any other questions that you have, and sounds as though you have quite a few concerning you sister's handling of this, you should consult with an attorney. You can start by finding one at www.AttorneyPages.com.
Best of luck.
