No, Bio-plasma is a special CC attack - it does not add to your number of attacks.
Warp blast is a one-shot (only) ranged weapon.

No only three ranged attacks with the Venom Cannon OR one shot with the warpblast. A model, that is a non-vehicle model, can only ever fire one ranged weapon pr. round, so there is no reason to equip the HT with two ranged weapons.

Read the section in the front of the Codex'o'box. It describes how the X-shot factor works - specifically that it is its original number of attacks that counts, no matter how much you add to this number later by buying Scything talons etc.

This seems to be rather 40k/Tyranid specific. I suggest that we either continue this subject in private, that you join the Tyranid group or we close the subject.
