To answer the question " Does Tet really count as an Old Deus?":

Yes. Though, Old Deus are called "Old", their entire existence is described as a beeing that was "wished" into existence. This requires the magic lines of the world to actually make it happen, and some of the Old Deus are actually more of a personification of a concept (like war). Normally, it takes much, much more than just one person to wish an Old Deus into existence. Tet is an exception to the rule, because the prayer/wish was made when the Star Grail was already revealed. However, Tet is made the same then all the other Old Deus.

By the way: This brings up another line of thought: Many of the other races in existance, like the Elves, Flügel or Ex-Machina are creations of the Old Deus, in order to serve and fight for them. If that is true for ALL other races, except Imanity, then it must have been Imanity to crate the Old Deus in the first place. They then created the other races and did battle to win the Star Grail, bringing Imanity into a very tight spot. However, this is not stated in the novel, and I wonder if this will ever be answered.
