There's a faily good interview with Daniel Twiss AKA Daniel James who plays one of the Engineers in the film. There's a big spoiler about his character's fate:

Spoiler
We have seen the virals, the teasers and the trailers. We have seen the alien life forms and the spacecraft from Scott's Alien. What information can you give us on your character as the 'Space Engineer'?

In the original Alien, the crew encounter the 'Space Jockey', now known as an 'Engineer' (the name for the alien race) however, as this is a semi-prequel, the 'Engineers' have a much bigger part to play. My character is that of a fairly young 'Engineer' who ritualistically sacrifices himself in the opening scene. This sacrifice is very different to any others as I have to drink an ancient mix which causes my body to literally disintegrate into the water around me. This then provides the first building blocks for new life to form on the alien planet. There are two other 'Engineers' who are in the rest of the film and have fairly large parts, but you will have to wait for release to find out more.

That is awesome...

Spoiler


So that answers a few questions and leads to a few more.

Why would sacrifice by drinking a concoction that causes you to disintegrate be the most effective way to seed life on earth?

Why are they seeding life on earth in the first place?

Twiss plays the sacrifice engineer in the beginning.
He drinks a concoction and disintegrates to create life on Earth.
The other two engineers, Ghost and Last, have bigger roles in the film.

I think it just means that it is the last Engineer on the planet. In interviews, actors and Scott have said that he is the lone survivor on the planet of a race of superbeings.

I'll admit it's a spoiler... but if anything I feel like it begs more questions and I don't feel like the movie will be ruined in any way for me...

I'm guessing the sacrifice scene is related to the waterfall scene in the trailers, makes sense. The engineer turns to 'water' and then mixes with the waterfall.

Don't read if you had no ideas about that character, who he is and when he appears.
This is a major plot device.
