So my question is, did the tree dry out and stop taking water because 3-4 weeks is the most you can really hope for out of a cut down tree, or would it have lasted longer if it wasnt for this white mold on the cut base? Could I have done something to stop the mold, or to ensure water could be taken by the tree for a bit longer?

I reckon it was too long.
I good rule of thumb is pretend a tree is a bunch of cut flowers. Stick them in a vase and how long do you thing they'll last - a week, two if you're lucky (a day or two if they're form Coop)?
We get ours on 18th Dec and it was fine for the duration.
If you want a tree to hang around for 1/12 of a year then get a plastic one.
