Is this season a parallel timeline to the original?

No, Ep 1 picks up after the series finale of the original.

Are we to assume that since Genosha is a fixed point that every time Cable or the X-men win in the future so it’s recorrected and the past is erased in some ways meaning the previous X-men show isn’t canon?

I guess we'll see how they handle it. I mean, if you tried to sit down and explain a lot of these overlapping storylines/timelines, it would be more convoluted than thirty years of plots of All My Children or Days of Our Lives.

Wait until it gets into the Clan leader from the end of the episode or if they do the Messiah Complex arc...

They don’t seem to remember Cable, mastermold and nimrod, and apocalypse.

I didn't get that sense. They showed the destruction of the mastermold factory from the old show. Beast immediately knew the name at the end. There was the sort of "introduction" to Cable, but I almost think that was for new viewers that had only watched this season and wouldn't know Cable from anything other than DP2. They wouldn't know that family relationship.
