I was looking through some of the old errata, rulings, and
clarifications. It states there that if a retainer is brought into
play by any method other than "Employ Retainer" then the retainer is
brought in at the basic level of the card.

If this is true then If Howler who has superior Animalism used Muricia
Call at Superior to get a Raven Spy out of his library. Then that
Raven Spy would only have 2 life (1 for basic Animalism and 1 extra
for Muricia's Call).

Is that correct, even though Howler has superior Animalism?

Card text: "This vampire employs that retainer", so the action is an
"employ retainer" action. The ruling on actions that are not "employ
retainer" actions doesn't apply.

If Howler then untaps somehow, she can still employ a raven spy with the
card, right?

... with the Raven Spy card, yes.
... with the Muricia's Call card, no.
