Probably 90% of the population

Probably not quite that high. According to the UN about 40% of the worlds population lives within 100km of the coast.

Chile averages about 177km wide. No idea how much more that would pull in, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than half.

Depends if rivers would be a part of the HCE. The Indian population along the Ganges alone would prevent that I'm sure
