>>Are creatures that yield bodyparts for arrows/bolts that land elemental damage, elemental extra-planars themselves? (currently firecats, ice adders, storm bulls, lava drakes)

No to those four. The lava drakes are constructs of Elanthian matter. Unless I'm missing any lore, the firecats and storm bulls appear to be animals with too much, let's say, elemental charge. In contrast, the seordmaor originate from a known planar conduit, and the wind hounds are plainly a garden variety of air elemental.

The differences may seem minute, but where Aethrolysis is concerned, the question to ask is, "How much of that thing doesn't belong here?" Generally speaking, god-made creatures will fall short of that threshold (unless outright incorporeal), because gods care about that sort of balance. What's inside an ice adder is from the spiritual plane, but it's ensouling a dead animal, so you can't get rid of it by just blowing up the aether around it.

>>Would Category:Fae be categorized as extra-planar?

As they were specifically created for Elanthia, nope.
