Is there a list of the various novels and how they touch on the secret history?

[Trathos]

Some of the older novels, [2nd and 3rd editions] are referenced on the sourcebook their plot is related to.
 I don't recall the recent books doing that as most of the novels released since catalyst got the rights to publish aren't that much involved in the major metaplots

http://danvolodar.ru/ancientfiles/Shadowrun_to_Earthdawn.htm breaks down all of the links from Shadowrun to Earthdawn

At the end, there's a lot of references to Novels. Might be a good place to start.

Any clue if those are going to be kept going forward?  Catalyst is forging their own world, and I'd hope they keep some of the big mysteries in place.

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Anything that is already referenced in a Shadowrun product is essentially being kept - or is, at least, available to SR writers.  Additional ED information/mysteries/etc. is, AFAIK, discouraged (or just not allowed).    The sense is to move forward, not pull stuff from the past.
