If C.T. Russell were alive today, what teachings would he still recognize in the church he started? What teachings would his church disfellowship HIM for?

C.T. would be scurrying Egypt for the "perfect pyramid", as he was being disfellowshipped for being a false prophet, a liar, a fornicator, and a bombastic thief. Sounds just like his protege, eh?

This one is easy. He would be disfellowshiped for everything BUT: no hellfire, soul-sleep, the "Ransom Doctrine(tm)", and no Trinity.
None of those crap beliefs have any significance whatsoever in the lives of normal people. One does not become a better person by merely believing there is no trinity, or that Jesus died for some sort of stupid ransom instead of for people's sins, or that when one dies, they just die. The living are concerned about living and not dying.
C.T. Russel would be Df'd in about thirteen seconds in today's WatchowerWorld(tm). So would
Da Judge, and for that matter, so would Freddie Franz.Farkel
