how well was the steel pretensioned as the concrete cured? (bowed?)

What steel? Looking closely at the fallen span, it doesn't appear that there is anything metal in or attached to the concrete ...

There are cables that run in sleeves through the concrete.

I noticed that as well. Didn’t look like much rebar and a lot of crumbled (not broken) concrete.
