anyone who hopes that this hearing will shed some light on the issue will soon see themselves disappointed.

This hearing is unlikely to, but the trial by Court Martial could be another matter.

But just as a thought experiment, what if it does, and the trial judge rules that the ultimate order giver had no authority to issue any such order, making it unlawful. Then what? Does the government appeal the ruling?

They would have to. I imagine it would be immediately appealed or else the military would be dealing with legions of troops trying the same thing. That would completely disrupt the military and give a "get out of jail free" card to anyone who doesn't want to deploy --whether they cared about Obama's eligibility or not.

Should such a verdict happen, and I very strongly doubt it will, you can guarantee the issue of Obama's eligibility would be thrust to the headline story of every news media imaginable.
