Clearly a lot of companies have withdrawn their support from the NYA but doesn't this allow us the reconsider the whole situation. Continuing with the fork right now is just stupid and very narrow-minded.

Actually, no one major company has left the agreement. F2pool is still signalling in support of Segwit2x, so it's not clear what their intentions are. I believe the only signatories who left were Wayniloans, SURBTC, and Bitwala. I'm not familiar with any of them after being around in this space for 4 years. Xapo and Blockchain recently reaffirmed their intention to support 2X as "Bitcoin/BTC" if miners follow through.

I'm learning something new! Interesting.

So hypothetically if I have for example, 5 bitcoin in a personal wallet such as blockchain.info or some other private wallet, will the new BTC altcoin appear in this wallet as well?

If private keys in that wallet contain BTC, then they will contain both coins after the fork, yes. But the opt-in replay protection in BTC1 was removed, so the only safe thing to do is not transact at all around/after the fork. Hopefully a form of replay protection will be added to the fork so that it's safe and easy to split the coins and send them to different wallets.
