I am wondering about the staircase, since I found my way to it, went down it, and then died in a gruesome, horrible death. Which made me lose a lot of progress

Overall, it's a very good dungeon. It has a real OoT Forest Temple feel, being partly inside, and partly outside.

I suggest you go looking for something fragile.

When you suddenly destroy the Tendrils, and you get the key, you find "Crimsrobe" running away, not ever seeing him before!

Well, that's a bug, I'm afraid! But using a secret technique to cross the broken bridge is quite permissible.

The answer is... it's a shortcut between two dungeons! But you need the Slightly Longer Hookshot to make proper use of it.
