What Happened to Hodor?
As viewers, we saw both of these events concurrently.
Bran caused the childhood fit by unwittingly creating a damaging psychic link between Wylis past and future selves.
When Meera told Hodor to Hold the door!
All hail Hodor, another casualty of his masters war.
So, Does This Mean Bran Can Change the Past?

There was a Hodor, because Bran damaged Wylis mind.
(And ours, with all this time travel business.)
Why Did the Children of the Forest Create the White Walkers?
To protect their lands and trees from the First Men.
They took a man, inserted a Dragonglass blade into his heart, and created the first White Walker.
All of which means that the White Walkers began life as defenders of the earth (Defenders!
), created by the Old Ones to balance the relationship between man and nature.
4. Who Was the Andal Turned into the Nights King?
Were there any clues as to his identity?
Why Could Meeras Spear Kill the White Walker?

Not sure, but it looks like it.
