1. Each Elders skill is specific as to the timing. Lord Handbrook, Reverend Harding & Magistrate Kroft all add Fight dice (as applicable), which would be ongoing. Lady Handbrook is the First Hit of each Fight Round. Dr Manning, each time you take a Wound. Sophie, Cancel any Mystery Card AS IT IS PLAYED. So, within those guidelines, yes, you can use their Skills while they’re with you.

2. Only time you’re allowed to Look at a Town Elder’s secrets is through Investigation or Card Play. If you pay the Investigation as an Action on your turn, or play a relevant card, then yes.

3. “Hero of the People” & “On The Hunt” are both “Reveal Immediately”, so which ever got revealed first would take effect immediately. If the other were then Investigated, it would take effect.

Both of the “Darkest Secrets” specify that they do NOT get discarded. “Servant to Darkness” specifies that as soon as it is revealed the Elder immediately turns & immediately gets the free attack. All of the others are Pure or regular Secrets, & thus get discarded.

4. The wording of the “Too Many Secrets” optional rule specifies that “Anytime they have 3 OR MORE secrets REVEAL THEM ALL. So the supposition would be that if they can receive more & that they would be revealed.

5. This is deduction on my part, but Cards that let you PEEK at Town Elders Secrets do so without revealing. Otherwise they would merely let you LOOK at them, & there would be no distinction. The distinction being, if you LOOK at Secrets (Investigation) Reveal Immediately comes into play, if you PEEK (card play), they do not.

6. Not sure if I follow, but the Hunting Party can only consist of 2 Elders. If you have one with you already, you can call one more or you could send the one with you back to town & call 2 different ones.

7. I’m assuming we’re talking co-op, as that would be the only time you would be revealing it ahead of time. It specifies that you may announce (& reveal) the Secret at any time to use its effects. So, yes. (It’s still a secret, albeit one the Heroes share, & the Elder is still a selfless martyr who will sacrifice them self in your time of need!)
