If you are playing against a minion, you cannot use Inner Cunning
because it targets an agent. If you want to use Inner Cunning
against a hero opponent, it does not create additional home sites,
it only allows you to bring the agent into play at sites other then
the agent's home site(s).

I discussed this ruling with Ichabod before posting it. The newer
ruling stands. Ichabod is welcome to overrule it if he wishes.

No.

I believe they are already listed. Check CRF - Rulings by Term -
Card Effect Limitations. For the record, they are:
Near to Hear a Whisper
Sudden Fury
Great Need or Purpose

Yes, you are correct.

Let's go step by step. Normally, you cannot play "Dwarven Ring of
Durin's Tribe" at the Lonely Mountain. The dwarven rings are
special rings and can only be gotten by testing a golden ring.
Testing a golden ring does not tap the site. You may have played a
golden ring at The Lonely Mountain tapping the site, tested it, and
played the Dwarven Ring as a result. If that's what you did, sorry
for the correction.
On to the next step, Siezed By Terror must be played during the
Movement/Hazard phase. It cannot be revealed on-guard. You don't
discard your site of origin until you reconcile your hand at the
end of the companies M/H phase. So tapped or untapped, the Lonely
Mountain is still in play when Legolas returns there.
Last step, Lonely Mountain remains in play (tapped or untapped) as
long as Legolas (or any company) remains there. On your next turn,
Gimli's company could move back to Lonely Mountain or Legolas could
move to a new site himself (perhaps the same site as the one
Gimli's company is moving to).
