Answering them one by one, #1 is in Gilman's M&B03, #2 is in Betza's Worse Than Worthless, #4 is in Leno's Gridlock Chapter 5. Question #3 for who called whom ''dead ringer for that enduring enigma'' is here. The seven basic chess pieces are representative of the visible system: Sun Falcon, Moon Pawns, Mars Knight, Mercury Bishop, Jupiter King, Venus Queen, Saturn Rook. So in poem 7 here Venus calls King Jupiter, who just spoke, ''dead ringer...'' in her six lines.
