No. Agents are not characters for hero players.

Yes. Praise is a short event, so you only check it's conditions
once.

No.

You may use agents against a minion (nazgul or otherwise) player.
The agent attack as detainment an cannot use any hazard cards that
specifically target agents.

You reveal Open to the Summons as if it were a character. It must
be in play before you play the agent.

Your assumption is consistant with the previous ruling.

>Alternatively, if Gate of Morning is in play, the number of

>2] Stirring Bones is played (2 strikes) with the Moon is Dead in

>GoM in play (after the Moon is Dead has boosted the attack), the
>attack is reduced to one strike since the attack ORIGINALLY had
>only 2 strikes, right?
Original is not normal, it has no special meaning. The number is
halved at the time of resolution of Dark Quarells.
>3] I know it has been ruled that if for some reason a follower
>is removed from DI outside the org phase, that character does not
>cut into free GI until the controller's next org phase:
>
>a) Does a character brought into play (not under DI) using *We
>Have Come To Kill* outside the org phase use up free GI?
Yes. The ruling you are looking for is in Rulings by Term -
Influence. "Changes to general influence take place immediately,
with a minimum of zero general influence."
>b) Does a character acquired by influencing him/her away from an
>opponent cut into free GI before the controller's next org phase?
Yes. The same ruling from above applies.
