2) I don't quite understand how bless effects work (or don't work) w/ unholy. The "Unholy Blessing" spells say that they activate the "powers of an unholy troop". Does this have anything to do with the bless effects that come from your pretender? If not, is there any point in considering bless effects w/ your pretender design?

The Unholy Blessing spells are like Blessing spells for Unholy units. So yeah, they are based off of the bless effects of your Pretender.

3) In the case of SG, it seems reasonable to choose a putz as your initial prophet, until you can afford a Wraith consul. However, I've heard other choices argued regarding Ermor prophets. Is it not the case that going from four to five in unholy level is quite valuable (as with the equivalent for holy prophets)? The fifth level "Power of the Sepulchre" spell seems pretty useful, though I can well imagine that its painful to spend the 35 death gems for a Wraith Consul is pretty painful, early on.

Power of the Sepulchre is a great spell. Moreso, I think, for AE than SG, since it affects the whole battlefield and AE gets even more free undead troops than SG does. But well worth prophetizing a lvl4 priest for with either nation, I would think.
Another thing to consider is that the more powerful your unholy priest is, the better it is at Reanimating. For AE, a lvl5 Unholy priest can reanimate lictors (the AE Wright substitute). I believe that a lvl5 SG priest can reanimate Ghosts, but I could be wrong about that.
