What happens if the bearer of Talbot's Chainsaw has no blood at the
beginning of his minion phase? Does the bearer still have to declare a hunt
action?
At the beginning or in the middle of his minion phase - it doesn't matter.
A minion who is untapped, ready, and empty must hunt.
If he is otherwise prohibited from hunting (via Talbot's Chainsaw, the
No Repeat Action rule, or whatever), then he is stuck and can take no action.

Yes. The mandatory actions have to be taken before other actions. [6]

If there is a Madness Network in play, and I have an untapped 0-blood Malk,
can I use other Malks' out-of-turn actions, or do I have to hunt with him if
I want to use the Madness Net at all?
What if that 0-blood vampire is NOT a Malk, and could not legally take
actions out of turn? Can my Malks still act?
The former. [6]

Yes. [6]
You do mean if at zero blood at start of minion phase right? Question says
zero at untap, if hunting is required if at zero there it greatly changes
the way blood doll and hunting grounds are used.

So a minion with Lunatic Eruption placed on them has to attack a vampire
before the other controlled minions can act? This isn't the way we've been
playing with this card in particular, so I'm curious if the same ruling
applies as it is a mandatory action.
Lunatic Eruption [SW] - Action (dem) (2)
* The mandatory attack action must be taken before any
non-mandatory actions. [LSJ 20001127]
> * The mandatory attack action must be taken before any
> non-mandatory actions. [LSJ 20001127]
What if the prey of the Lunatic-Erupted vampire doesn't
control any minions at all? Can that vampire then perform a
non-Rush action?
No. "must rush" and "cannot rush" => "stuck" and can perform no
actions. Just as the similar situation for hunting.
Yes, by card text.
