How do they know that I'm dead? Have they attended my funeral?

Yes, Gaben personally goes to every funeral and tells your beloved ones "Hello, I'm Gabe Newell and this was one of our best costumers"

Gotta find someone worthy of inhereting your exquisite library

No, you can't transfer your account to someone else. You can give someone else your password, but that doesn't make them the official owner.
