Default Mosquito Control

(1) Can mosquito larvae live in the upper pools (where currents are fairly
strong), or will they just get washed down the falls and into the main pond?

Not really, they don't like moving water.

(2) Will the Koi eat mosquito larvae, or do I need mosquito eating fish?

Yes

(3) If I put mosquito fish (which I've heard are almost as much of a
nuisance as mosquitos) in the upper pools, will they just end up in the main
pond, and not solve my problem?

No, they will be everywhere. If I had it to do over I would not have put in
the fish.

(5) Should I just get those mosquito control tablet things, and live better
through chemistry?

It's what I would do.
