I should add - the intent of this mod is to encourage people to use national commanders. There are nation vs. nation balance components to the mod which I will be testing later.

No, not clamless, but the maps are fairly small.
I haven't decided whether the overall balance mod will be clamless. Clamlessness has complicated effects on nation vs. nation balance in the late game, and I don't object to clamming? I want games to end eventually, and clam-hordeing is a good way to build up an insurmountable lead and actually win.

Do assassin commanders (Machaka, but it's not in your list) come with a retinue?

Yes, the bane spider comes with a retinue, but this is a component of the nation vs. nation balance for Machaka, which I will flesh out later. Are there any other leader/assassins? I don't think there are.

Do theurg communicants come with a retinue?

No, but Battle Acolytes will come with retinues (probably standard bearers?)

Do Marignon Friars, Seraphines, black harpies, centaur hierophants, bakemono scouts and bandit leaders get a retinue? (What with being stealthy and thus killing PD 1 easily)

Scouts and priests will get retinues IF they have leadership, except maybe seraphines - if seraphines come with retinues, they will be a little-girl Caelum acolyte unit which I will add. The scout retinues will be small, though - unless the scout has full leadership.
Witch-hunters (of all levels, including the ones who get a single F pick) and Anathemants will both come with retinues, but they will be small, relative to the cost of the commander, even though both those units get decent leadership.

Ermorian cultists should probably get ghouls...

Good point.

I miss the point of MA Mictlan in this set of nation. There's little reason why they'd want to recruit non mage/priest commanders except for ferrying troops, and when they're idle these often summon slaves, so I don't think you'll be testing anything about them unless there's something else in the mod.
Machaka if you make the change for their assassin would need testing however.

I'm adding MA Mictlan to this game b/c it'll give me another data point to decide how they stack up against the other nations on the list. They probably won't use their retinues, you're correct.
