I thought it gave leadership to most active when leader went inactive?

Yes and no. At the point the FC leader has been inactive for 35 day the system checks the FC hierarchy and gives leadership to the next most senior member who logged in within the last 7 days.

I'm not sure if you do lose house if your master is inactive, i doubt so tho

Yes you're correct, the FC owner isn't linked to keeping the house. As long as at least 1 FC member steps inside the house every 45 days to reset the timer the house will remain, regardless of who the leader is.

Although with the demolition timer still disabled that's not actually possible right now anyway.

Unless someone with housing permissions destroys the house that is...

Most senior also means the order of promotion, so the first to get the leadership is the person with the highest rank the longest time.

Sorry, but not necessarily. See the 2.2 patch notes:

In the event a free company master does not log in for 35 days (Earth time), ownership will be automatically transferred to another free company member, based upon the following criteria:
1. Members who have logged in within the past seven days
2. Higher-ranked members preferred
3. Senior members preferred

It will transfer it to the most senior person who has logged on to the game in the last seven days. Even if you have a rank setup that is "second" in the hierarchy, if no one in that rank logged in within the last seven days it will skip over that rank and look at the next rank down and so forth until it finds one where someone logged in recently.
