Regarding the 10 lost tribes, the punishment prescribed by God on the Israelites was Assyrian captivity and unlike the
Babylonian captivity, God never promised that they could return to their land, in fact it suggests they would be destroyed.
The 10 lost tribes theory is based upon an idea that 10 largely intact and whole tribes moved as a people group out of Assyrian and then onto Europe and various places. I just don't think it is likely considering that Assyrian captivity was particularly harsh, in all probability some of the 10 "lost" tribes were intermarried out of their own national identity and others destroyed/killed.
Today, unbelieving Israel is the Jews, regardless of race or nationality, and believing Israel is believing Jews, either Messianic or Christian. Most people descended from the 10 lost tribes would be Muslims living in the caucases and asiatic regions.
