Is this canon with DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN from 1931?

In no way, shape or form.
Absolutely not.

It's fine with me that Talbot was briefly "cured" and then the curse returned. I guess we can figure that medical science can only temporarily put a curse like Lycanthrophy into remission ... you can't "cure" the supernatural.
shareYes cannon

Since it featured the return of Bela Lugosi as the role that made him famous, Dracula, Boris Karloff reprising his popular role as Frankenstein's monster, and Lou Chaney Jr. getting freaky as the werewolf, I say it puts it in the books as canon. Especially considering how each actor played true to their characters. Universal was also involved in this picture like all the others. It was a dream seeing them all on the screen in the same movie, not even the Invisible Man's presence was neglected into fading.
share Glenn Strange whose most widely known role was playing the bartender Sam on Gunsmoke appeared as the Monster for the most part. Strange was hurt in the laboratory scene so Lon Chaney Jr filled in for him as the Monster. As to the question A & C meets F roughly fits into the canon left by the earlier Universal films. Universal found ways for the Monster to escape his predicament from the previous film and they also gave repose to the Wolfman. As series television would do over 15 years later in that the characters and background would bend to the demands of the episode. Then a few episodes later all that would change. Don't overanalyze movies and television as you will always be disappointed in the end.
No. Think of it more like a parody of the original monster films.
shareIt's up to Universal Studios to decide that, and since a blu-ray copy of "AaCMF" is included on the box sets of the Universal Monsters collections with all the other movies I'd say yes it is canon.
shareNo. In this movie, the Frankenstein Monster is not afraid of fire, even though it kills him. He slowly walks right into it. In previous movies, it was established he was afraid of fire and for good reason
