Levi didn't see that there was still a Titan alive. The Titan starts to move again only when Levi is leaving the place, which means he doesn't see it.

Also, Zeke never died. Same as Eren in 119. If both of them died, they wouldn't have "entered" the Path realm (btw I consider this place as a "landscapification" of the paths (like personnification but with an landscape)). Ymir just saved him on the verge of death.

About the reason Ymir saved him, well, Zeke is a royal Titan shifter. And it has been previously said that a royal-blooded shifter is sort of a "small" Coordinate. These conditions might be the reason Ymir saved him.

We might call it a Deus Ex Machina, but I think we're in a similar situation as Reiner during the Shiganshina battle : it's not a plot armor in both cases, and yet, many people call it that way. Why it isn't plot armor ? IMO, it's because Isayama could have easily avoided to put Zeke and Reiner in such situations. It's clear that in both of these situations, he didn't want them to die. It wasn't hard to make them avoid such situations if that was real plot armor. Theses situations served a lore-purpose : Reiner in Shiganshina to show how hard it is to kill a trained shifter, especially when it's already transformed ; Zeke in chapter 115 to introduce Ymir Fritz and her slave mentality towards the royal bloodline to "prepare" chapters 120-122, as well as the Path Realm (that was first introduced in season 2/end of Shiganshina's arc in the manga)
