I dont get what was going on with her future self turning herself in kuhvaki to like scape? And then I dont get how she returns her body back exactly.. This part was a bit confusing
She separated her body and soul to pass through the barrier she should have been able to break.
In the present her body and soul were reunited which resulted in her resurrection.
But that leads to a bootstrap paradox as there was no original Columbina to start the cycle.

You mean when the Frost Moon gets summoned by Dottore in the fight? The soul placed in the moon connects with the Kuvhaki, and she ressurects?
Also what's a bootstrap paradox?

I could be wrong, but I did not get the impression that Dottore was summoning the Frost Moon. In fact, once he realized the Allies were working hard to bring the moon in, he rushed to close the tear he had opened

A bootstrap paradox is a time travel thing where you travel to the past and do something that will eventually cause you to travel into the past to do that thing.
Another example in-game was when the Traveler (or the Abyss Twin) gave Direidyth the spaceship key in the distant past, which she then kept with her for centuries (as a Hilichurl) until she gave the key to the Traveler, who then went on a timey-wimey adventure where they wound up giving Direidyth the key, and so on.
Some suggest that these kinds of things are impossible, because there's no way to "start" it. Cause and effect and effect and cause all depend on one another, so it's impossible to have one without already having the other. It doesn't really work that way, though - there's no "before the loop started". It was always there. Think of it like a roller coaster - it's build from the beginning to have a loop in it. They didn't build the coaster and then add a loop later.
Genshin's timeline is like that - Istaroth created the entire history of the planet all at once, both the past and the future. The only beings that can alter what she's created are herself and Descenders.

Its not a closed loop though, her story moves forward, then back then forward again but it never went back or interfered with how she was originally born.

The original was the three sisters, we already know that part of the story, it was just a mystery as to why. They all "died" and she was born in Teyvat at the same time, left alone without any idea what was going on.
Not too dissimilar to Nahida's story

There's three parts that allowed her to be brought back: body, soul, and authority.
Body: While going back to the past in the moon's reflection, she left Luonnotar with us at the time when we first visited Hiisi Isle. Luonnotar is basically a part of her that would guide the Traveler.
Soul: While again in the moon's reflection, she got the authority and power of the moon sisters who were imprisoned there. She then "died" and placed her power all over ancient Nod Krai as kuuvahki that would be used in the future. This is likely also the reason why she ended up being born in the future.
Authority: In that same effort of placing her power over Nod-Krai, she then hid the Trilunar Authority in the Frost Moon beyond the False Sky.

So when the Frost Moon was brought back by Dottore, she could then ressurect as all her parts were present?
D-S_122026-01-27 03:36
Dottore didn't brink back the Frost Moon, Varka, Arlechinno, and Nicole brought it down so that it's close enough for all three parts to come together.

True! Thank you
