Sweeny Todd has neither been proven fact nor fiction. There are no records from the 1800s, estimably when Sweeny Todd was supposed to have existed, that a barber by the name of Todd existed. Most scholars believe that Sweeny Todd actually came from an old Horror story and from word of mouth. Sweeny Todd, or characters with Sweeny Todd characteristics, has made appearances in other works of literature, sorry but I'm not sure which but it's easy to find it on search engines. Real or not Sweeny Todd does capture the imagination of the viewer and portrayed as a very possible person.

There are many different versions of the Sweeney Todd legend. Assuming you are referring to the Stephen Sondheim version (which became a Tim Burton movie starring Johnny Depp), yes, Sweeney Todd kills Mrs. Lovett at the end.
Yes, Sweeney Todd did kill his wife, by accident, thinking she was just a poor beggar woman.
Bejamin Barker's (Todd) daughter was named Johanna. His wife was Lucy
Jane Fogg is the wife of the owner of the insane asylum
At the end Sweeney Todd is left sitting with his wife (Lucy) who turned out to have poisoned herself, but not died. He is not really paying attention to what is going on around him (He seems to be alone since Ms. Lovett died) and Toby comes out of hiding and sees the razor and cuts Sweeney Todd's throat. I am playing Toby in Sweeney Todd and I know this, I also saw the Broadway show, the movie, and the show on tour. And in all of them this is the ending. Ms. Lovett does not kill Sweeney Todd because Sweeney Todd already killed her.
Sweeney Todd is a musical thriller and a tragedy of a horribly wronged barber seeking revenge on his mortal enemy. In the play, everyone has a goal based on love: Sweeney is seeking revenge because he loves his wife and wants the judge to pay for what he's done, Mrs. Lovett wants Sweeney because she is in love with him, etc.
The majority of the cast dies except for Johanna, Anthony, and Toby, who are all threatened with death at least once at some point in the play. Most everyone is killed by Sweeney except for Sweeney himself who is killed by his own razor by Toby after Sweeney throws Mrs. Lovett in the bake oven.
