Do I need to go back to the collar or can I leave the 8' - 10' that still
has leaves?

If I can leave it, where is the best place to make the final cut? Perhaps
just beyond the final group of leaves?

I see no reason to save the limb; too low/close to the house anyway.

More than likely if it has died back from the end there's a reason and
it'll probably progress anyway. Unless there was some sort of injury at
that point that girdled the limb there to cause the end kill.
