So he travels through time and kills Nora Allen.

Then when he do this, he created three alternative time lines from the same Dimension:

1- Nora Allen wasnt kill.

2-Barry Allen was kill.

3-Nora Allen was kill.

In this 3 time lines, we could see different futures:

'''1-The Original Time Line, from where Eobard and Flash came from. This time line wasnt destroy, it only change, because when Flash travels through time to chase Eobard, he created different alternatives:''' 1- Where the world is destroy. 2-Where the Flash vanish in Crisis.

2-One without Barry Allen Flash and another kind of Flash.

'''3-One were Barry grows up without his mother or his father and when he learns to become the Flash in another way. '''

The writers of the show were lazy and doesnt see "Back To The Future 2", where the alternative time lines rule is present really simple.

Eobard created 3 Alternative Universes or even more, but he choose to stay in 1, where he mold Central City using S.T.A.R. Labs, where he prepare the experiment that he would use to give Barry Allen powers, like i believe he give himself in his future.

He created a younger version of the Flash, a different kind of Rogues Gallery and even he make an entire universe only to be able to travel back to his original time line where the Flash Vanish in Crisis.

So when Eddie kill himself, he only should had die and Eobard would laughed really hard, because the original time line Eddie was safe in the original time line and was alredy dead a long time ago. So it was kind of Deux Ex Machina of we need Reverse Flash dead... Except Time Travel is used differently in different ways. Sometimes it creates a new timeline, like you described, but sometimes it just changes the established timeline, while remaining mainly the same. Though the show describes it as separate timelines, the Flash writers clearly don't try to make the show's science realistic at all, so they could stick with the explanation that it still effects Eobard because he didn't change everything, just certain events.
