Lets say I am shooting at two units with my one unit.
If I kill an HQ giving a protection aura with the first set of attacks, then the rest of my attacks from the unit are targeting a unit behind the HQ , when are models removed ?
does the unit no longer get the benefit of the aura ?

As an aside, as "infinite" rolls is actually impossible even if the FAQ "allows" it, then it will always be a non-zero chance to pass them all. Eventually the two players will die. If they pass the game on to their decendents, they too will eventually die. And, at the end of it all, the universe will experience heat death and it, too, will die. In the instance of "infinite" hits, we're talking more of functional infinity, rather than literal.
RAW you can't pass the game onto descendants, permissive ruleset. Unless we get an FAQ from GW.

Once it model is reduced to zero wounds it should be removed from the board. In this case as soon as the HQ loses its last wound it will go away and the aura will not longer affect anything, even if shots have already been declared.

Attacks are resolved one at a time. When you split your attacks, you still resolve each attack one at a time. If you kill the HQ before resolving the shots directed at the other unit, the other unit will not benefit from the HQ's aura as it has been removed as a casualty. Do note that this is not the same as how checking for range or LOS works, which happens only once when you declare your attacks, not on an ongoing basis after every individual attack is resolved.

But the opponent reserves the rights to resolve the successful attacks from the same source in any order.

Erm, no? That's not how it works, not in the slightest. The attacker decides the order he or she makes his or her attacks in. Even if he or she fast rolls his or her hits and wounds, he or she can't fast roll against two different targets, he or she has to resolve his or her attacks against one target before the other. The defender simply gets to choose which model the wound is allocated too, which is a moot point if the attacker resolves his or her attacks against a single model HQ unit first. Editspam: Misspoke regarding fast rolling wound rolls and have corrected the statement.
