I believe he is still alive, yes. As for any more books...well, we'd have to ask him.
By the way, did you know that Tolkien's house at Oxford is for sale?

He is still alive. I do believe that he is working on HoME 13 (though it is just an index of all the other volumes.)

The HoME index (volume 13 of the series) is already published; I bought my Harper-Collins paperback of it two years ago.

More books?
To the best of my knowledge, Christopher Tolkien has retired from the family business. New material is published occasionally, but in periodicals. Tolkien's translation of Beowulf is being edited by Professor Michael Drout, who has already published the notes for 'Beowulf' - The Monsters and the Critics, and are due out over the next two years.
