2. Hasn't been introduced yet. It was mentioned in chapter 30 that Shadow Garden had a "former named children" in their organization so there are females in the Cult.

3. Given that there seems to be Cursed Children in every part of the globe it could be inferred that the genetics of the Cursed Children has spread too far to keep track of everyone. They do keep track of the important one's given that Nelson knew who Alpha is.

4. Hyoro knows he's piss weak and he'll only embarrass himself if he participated, he wanted to drag Cid into it as a prank.

5. Shadow Garden killed seemingly innocent people who are actually Cult members and have in general wrecked havoc on the public. Iris treating them like a terrorist organization is correct in that context. They did save Alexia but it wasn't clear why they did it and also saving Alexia doesn't change their crimes just like how terrorists would still be treated as terrorists even if they saved the president's children.

6. It hasn't been brought up. They might just think "this is all part of Shadow-sama's plan" or some shit like that.

7. Not introduced.

8. It wasn't just book reading, it was book reading by Shadow-sama. At that time Beta couldn't sleep due to guilt so Cid told her stories of fairy tales from his world which helped her sleep just like how parents read children bed time stories. Beta is under the impression that Shadow did it to comfort her whereas Cid likely just did it on whim. Due to that Beta's loyalty towards Shadow was up to fanatic levels so she no longer feels guilty over killing people as long as she thinks it's for Shadow's cause.

Spoiler for Response:

2. Most likely, it's the Cused Child mentioned in Beta's SS.

3. I did some rechecking and Cid mentions that Hyoro and Jaga are either hospitalized/detained in a mental war after the chocolate incident hence they can no longer participate. Still, that was still stupid of Hyoro especially if he ever did won in the Senbatsu, he'll still be at the mercy of the very big and very tough swordsmen at the God of War Tournament. And it was also wrong of him to drag Cid and Jaga into it.
