Most temporary conditions aplied by spells and similar effects will wear off by the time the raising spell is, but spells with long duration might still be on the target (geas/suggestion/charm person). Permanent effects would be healed as per the spell in question.

If the PC is blinded until the start of your (the creature who caused the effect) next turn, that's when it will end. Hit Points are an abstraction of the creature's well being, gaining and losing them doesn't do anything for effects that don't interact with Hit Points.   So the answer your to your question is; no, they'll still be blinded unless the condition would've ended by other means before they were brought above 0 Hit Points.

I would have the conditions end.    If you try and game the system, by purposely dying so you can get revivified.... bad things happen to you....
