Do mosquitos aid the ecosystem in any other way, apart from being food for insects?

No. This species is invasive everywhere outside Africa, constitutes only a tiny fraction of the mosquito population where they exist, and doesn't fill any meaningful ecological role anywhere.

We don't really know. Complex ecological systems are relatively poorly understood.
