Loses them all. Its ability only works while it is in play; the moment it
leaves play, it loses track of a) what cards it had itself removed from the
game and b) anything it had done while in play previously. (The Astral Slide's
delayed triggered ability keeps track of it and brings it back; the Duplicant
itself is Clueless.)

217.1c An object that moves from one zone to another is treated as a new
object. Effects connected with its previous location will no longer affect it.
There are two exceptions to this rule: Effects that edit the characteristics of
an artifact, creature, or enchantment spell on the stack will continue to apply
to the permanent that spell creates, and abilities that trigger when an object
moves from one zone to another (for example, "When Rancor is put into a
graveyard from play") can find the object in the zone it moved to when the
ability triggered.
Neither of those exceptions apply here.

Oh, certainly; the Duplicant is coming into play (and isn't phasing in), so
any "when ~ comes into play" abilities trigger naturally.
(Note that it leaving play does not "get you back the creature it removed";
it's not a Nightmare-group creature.)
