They where greatly reduced, not destroyed. The communists did not achieve the objectives they set out to, but they did find a route to victory from Tet.
Not for several years and not as a direct result of Tet. Tet was Jan/Feb 1968, last troops out of Vietnam was 1973.
The communists did complete their objective: to run us out of the country. Troops were not sent in beginning in 1971 (I think). So, the halt was on and Tet was the last straw. On topic, the North Vietnamese had the will to win, and so they did.
