The Warp existed long before life appeared, so contrary to speculations there's no reason for it to stop to exist once life disappears. It would just become peaceful again, having nothing to reflect (a great progress considering the hopelessly grimdark setting ^ ^;).

Thre setting is limited to the Milky Way Galaxy because the Imperium didn't expand further (though a galactic wide empire is already extremely impressive without large-scale powers). Yet the Warp is stated to go beyond it, it's just that the Chaos Gods seem grounded to their native galaxy. It may even be trans-universal, as it isn't bound to our definition of space and time.
